Hello,
I'm a newbie to mono and I'm struggling with the use of the object FileSystemWatcher() on Linux version 2.4.23 (gcc version 3.3.2 (Debian)) running mono 0.29 Mono JIT compiler version 0.29, (C) 2002, 2003 Ximian, Inc.
The code doesn't pick up on any events I have setup.
Should I have FAM daemon installed ?
Heres the code I'm trying to use, and it all compiles ok.
using System;
using System.IO;
public class Watcher
{
public static void Main()
{
try
{
// Create a new FileSystemWatcher and set its properties.
FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher();
watcher.Path = @"/home/kieren/BP_IN/";
/* Watch for changes in LastAccess and LastWrite times, and
the renaming of files or directories. */
watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.FileName | NotifyFilters.LastWrite | NotifyFilters.Size | NotifyFilters.DirectoryName;
watcher.Filter = ""; //"*.*";
// Add event handlers.
watcher.Changed += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
watcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
watcher.Deleted += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
watcher.Renamed += new RenamedEventHandler(OnRenamed);
// Begin watching.
watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
// Wait for the user to quit the program.
Console.WriteLine("Press \'q\' to quit the sample.");
while(Console.Read()!='q');
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
}
// Define the event handlers.
public static void OnChanged(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
try
{
// Specify what is done when a file is changed, created, or deleted.
Console.WriteLine("File: " + e.FullPath + " " + e.ChangeType);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
}
public static void OnRenamed(object source, RenamedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
// Specify what is done when a file is renamed.
Console.WriteLine("File: {0} renamed to {1}", e.OldFullPath); //, e.FullPath);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
}
}
Please advise, or any reference / example material on FileSystemWatcher I should be looking at, thanks in advance, regards,
