Rad, Are you looking for the deleted and rename events? If so, I think you need attach the event handler to those events. Since the "Changed" only fires when the object changes, when I used your code I did see a behavior where it appears that fsw_changed "misses" events. Attaching the handler to the additional events seemed to correct the behavior for me. I also added explicitly set the "EnableRaisingEvents" property to true.
See code below. H. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; namespace FileSystemWatcherExample { class Program { static void WaitForKey() { Console.WriteLine("Any Key To Exit"); Console.ReadLine(); } static void Main(string[] args) { FileSystemWatcher fsw = new FileSystemWatcher("C:\\FSWTest", "*.txt"); fsw.EnableRaisingEvents = true; fsw.IncludeSubdirectories = true; fsw.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.FileName | NotifyFilters.Attributes | NotifyFilters.LastAccess | NotifyFilters.LastWrite | NotifyFilters.Security | NotifyFilters.Size; //...Here are the additional events attached to handler fsw.Changed += new FileSystemEventHandler(fsw_Changed); fsw.Renamed += new RenamedEventHandler(fsw_Changed); fsw.Deleted += new FileSystemEventHandler(fsw_Changed); fsw.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(fsw_Changed); fsw.InternalBufferSize = 65536; fsw.EnableRaisingEvents = true; WaitForKey(); } static void fsw_Changed(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e) { Dictionary<WatcherChangeTypes, string> eventMap = new Dictionary<WatcherChangeTypes, string>{ {WatcherChangeTypes.Changed, "Changed"}, {WatcherChangeTypes.Created, "Created"}, {WatcherChangeTypes.Deleted, "Deleted"}, {WatcherChangeTypes.Renamed, "Renamed"}, {WatcherChangeTypes.All, "All"}, }; string action; if (!eventMap.TryGetValue(e.ChangeType, out action)) action = "Unknown Event"; Console.WriteLine("Path: " + e.FullPath + "; File Action: " + action); } } } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DotNetDevelopment, VB.NET, C# .NET, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, XML, XML Web Services,.NET Remoting" group.
