We have an asp.net mvc application that we would like to integrate a FileSystemWatcher with. I have seen many good examples on how to implement the FileSystemWatcher but I don't really know where to put it in my application. It seems like it should be started with the application. Any ideas? ...
We have an ASP.NET 2.0 website with an advanced configuration that is not catered for by a standard Web.config. Instead we're storing the config in our own Xml schema in the /bin/ folder, and we have a singleton object which caches this config and uses a FileSystemWatcher to detect updates. This logic sits in a separate class library whi...
I spawn a child process and need to know what files it modifies, creates or deletes. I can't use dtrace because I cannot sudo. I can't use FSEvents because it reports modifications that occur for all processes on the system and I'm only interested in my child process. Thanks for your help. ...
I am looking to monitor a folder for create events using the FileSystemWatcher in c#. The problem is that another 3rd party process is also watching that folder, I need (if possible) for my process to receive the create event before the 3rd party process. Is there a way in managed or unmanaged code that I can give my process a higher pr...
I am looking for a better way to pass information between my Firefox extension and .NET application. Currently, I am using text files to pass information one way to the .NET application by using the FileSystemWatcher class. The .NET application watches for new files in a specific directory when the Firefox extension writes to it and th...
I made a program which uses a filesystemwatcher component, but it seems to record absolutely EVERY change made, and I want to set it to ignore some file types. How can I set the filter to ignore certain types? For example, .LOG files. I don't want it telling me that that file updates, cause it does it every second practically. Even bett...

I need a .Net's FileSystemWatcher analog in raw C++/WinAPI. I almost started to code one myself using FindFirstChangeNotification/FindNextChangeNotification, but then it occurred to me that I am probably not the first one who needs this and maybe someone will be willing to share. Ideally what I need is a class which can be used as follo...
By doing some google, i came to know that 'it is used to keep track of file system actions'. But i don't undrstand it's utility, the watcher can directly trigger the event(s) without storing it in some intermediate buffer!! Is it there to convert asynchronous flow of events (copying/modifying files) into synchrounous event calls ? Also,...

My application is designed to run in the system tray and therefore does not instantiate any forms at startup. The problem is that the Created event is firing on a separate threa...
I am about to implement the archetypal FileSystemWatcher solution. I have a directory to monitor for file creations, and the task of sucking up created files and inserting the into a DB. Roughly this will involve reading and processing 6 or 7, 80 char text files that appear at a rate of 150mS in bursts that occur every couple of second...
I'm watching a directory using FileSystemWatcher. When a file is copied into that directory - my watcher grabs it and performs multiple actions with it. My problem is that when a Microsoft Office file is opened, a temporary file is created in the watched directory. I can't find a way to ignore these files. Though the temporary file na...
