Hello all. Relatively new to the realm of Net and C# so please excuse any greenhorn practices.
Having trouble with a Service we wrote (c#) which incorporates the File System Watcher. Service is setup to watch for "created" files only. All files are small text files. Each file is opened and "processed". Processing involves reading through the file to determine some header info which is then used to insert/update a table in SQL. Service works fine until we dump 50+ files into the watched "Path" directory. At this point it will process a varied number of files. Sometimes 1 or 2, sometimes half, rarely all and then appears to "stop" or "miss the remaining files". I have put all code in a try catch to write any error to the event log. Nothing is written to the log. Originally thought that the service was getting the event that the file was created but couldn't "open" the file. If that's the case I thought I would see an error. No errors. Wrote a routine to test to open the file and return the filestream anyway. Still no errors. If i comment out the line that calls our "Process" routine, then all files are "seen" Any suggestions would be appreciated.
