hi, the situation that you are going to use the app in is the same as the warning example that i described in my original email, ie if the networked server stops telling your app of filesystem changes (for whatever reason, bug/crash/reset), then your app could potentially silently fail (a bad thing). whereas a properly written polling app will (should/more likely) continue working.
maybe if you did a couple of test apps, running across a network, and try to simulate error conditions (eg disconnect/reconnect network cable, reset the monitored pc etc). cya, ben --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I wasn't aware polling would take so little CPU time, which is good. > However, I'm still trying to understand what the disadvantages are of > using > a downloadable component based on FindCloseChangeNotification? > > Cheers, > Dave __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
