Hi J-T, I have found FileSystemWatcher class not very reliable and sometimes it
behavies unexpectedly.I'm afriad that it brings down the whole
application.
The FileSystemWatcher class is very reliable. However, it uses events, which
are asynchronous to your application. Without knowing anything more about
how your code is written, I can't tell you much more. For example,
"Global.asax" is a file. The Global class that is generated when it is
compiled is a class. It contains a number of events, and you can't store a
class in an event. So, I have no idea where you're persisting your class, or
how. Also, you mentioned that you created a "component," which most probably
is not a "Component" in the literal .Net sense of the term. So, I know
nothing about that either.

Are you sure you are on the right track? A FileSystemWatcher object has to
exist somewhere to be able to watch. An asp.net application doesn't exist
anywhere but between a client http request and the server response. A very
short time. Do you expect the watcher to catch something only when the
server is busy serving client requests?

Your FileSystemWatcher is scoped to the method in which you instantiate it.
That means that it goes out of scope and is not available as soon as the
method returns. It may hang around for a bit since you have no code to
dispose it at any point, but you need to bone up on scope and state. Here's
a primer:
Scope is the "area of influence" of a variable. In a class, you have global
and local variables. Global variables are declared outside of any methods,
and are therefore "visible" to all members of the class. Local variables are
declared inside a method, and are therefore "visible" only to other
variables within a single instance (call) of the method. Once the method
returns, it is removed from the stack, and everything in it becomes
available for garbage collection.
Note that this differs from public, private, etc. These are also definitions
of scope, but are more related to encapsulation. Public members of a class
are "visible" from other classes. Private members are not. Etc.
State refers to the persistence of an object (class instance or primitive)
in memory. Whenever an object is instantiated (created), it must reside in
memory somewhere. The lifetime of an object is limited to the lifetime of
the container in which it resides. A method is instantiated, just like a
variable, whenever you call it. And just like a variable, when it returns,
it is available for garbage collection. The only way to persist an instance
is to put it into something else that persists. Hence, ASP.Net, which
operates using HTTP, which is stateless, has mechanisms for maintaining
state, such as Session, Application, and ViewState.
The global.asax class, as I mentioned in my earlier reply, is a persistent
class, but it's methods are not. They are instantiated like any other
methods, and pass out of scope as soon as they return.
I hope you will study what I've said, and continue to study how OOP works as
you go. In the meantime, you need to understand how to persist your
FileSystemWatcher, as well as making sure that when you are finished with
it, you dispose it.

So you mean state wise and persistence wise,both,I will have problems by
using this code?
Do you have any idea how to persist my object.I want it to avaialable as
long as they application is up and working.So according to what you suggest
I will have to make the scope of my object some how global (not like the way
it is now) and also persist it in the memory for the time application is up.
Do I really have to dispose the object after the application gets stopped?
Thanks for super informative answer.

Thanks a lot
Even if you persist an object in the application, how can you make sure the
application is running? Did you consider windows service?

it. That means that it goes out of scope and is not available as soon as
the method returns. It may hang around for a bit since you have no code
to dispose it at any point, but you need to bone up on scope and state.
Here's a primer:
Scope is the "area of influence" of a variable. In a class, you have
global and local variables. Global variables are declared outside of any
methods, and are therefore "visible" to all members of the class. Local
variables are declared inside a method, and are therefore "visible" only
to other variables within a single instance (call) of the method. Once
the method returns, it is removed from the stack, and everything in it
becomes available for garbage collection.
Note that this differs from public, private, etc. These are also
definitions of scope, but are more related to encapsulation. Public
members of a class are "visible" from other classes. Private members are
not. Etc.
State refers to the persistence of an object (class instance or
primitive) in memory. Whenever an object is instantiated (created), it must reside
in memory somewhere. The lifetime of an object is limited to the lifetime
of the container in which it resides. A method is instantiated, just like a
variable, whenever you call it. And just like a variable, when it
returns, it is available for garbage collection. The only way to persist an
instance is to put it into something else that persists. Hence, ASP.Net,
which operates using HTTP, which is stateless, has mechanisms for
maintaining state, such as Session, Application, and ViewState.
The global.asax class, as I mentioned in my earlier reply, is a
persistent class, but it's methods are not. They are instantiated like any other
methods, and pass out of scope as soon as they return.
I hope you will study what I've said, and continue to study how OOP
works as you go. In the meantime, you need to understand how to persist your
FileSystemWatcher, as well as making sure that when you are finished
with it, you dispose it.

Are you sure you are on the right track? A FileSystemWatcher object
has to
exist somewhere to be able to watch. An asp.net application doesn't
exist
anywhere but between a client http request and the server response. A
very
short time. Do you expect the watcher to catch something only when the
server is busy serving client requests?

You can set up a scheduled task that will copy files over to a local
directory periodically. Not very elegant, but works.

Yes. However, be aware that an ASP.Net application will stop running when it
is idle (no requests) for a period of more than (by default) 20 minutes.
When the application is stopped, the FileSystemWatcher will be stopped. When
the application restarts, the FileSystemWatcher will be restarted as well.
HOWEVER, any changes to the file system that the Watcher is supposed to
watch during the idle interval will go unnoticed. Now, as long as changes to
the files in the folder are also done by the ASP.Net app, there will BE no
changes while the app is stopped. So, while I can't answer your question
directly, this information, plus what you already know, should give you the
solution you need.

The reason I'm bearing with all these problems is that I don;t want to use a
seperate component outside of our asp.net application.What do you mean by
using a windows service? you mean using windows service to keep the object
alive ? kind of sponser thing in remoting?

You can't remotely call an object. An object is a type, just like an
Integer, or a Function. It exists only as an instance inside an application.
So, you have to write a service if you want it to run all the time. You
COULD keep your ASP.Net Application alive by making Requests to the app
shortly before the Application Timeout, but that would require a client
application to be running all the time.

Yes. However, be aware that an ASP.Net application will stop running when
it is idle (no requests) for a period of more than (by default) 20
minutes. When the application is stopped, the FileSystemWatcher will be
stopped. When the application restarts, the FileSystemWatcher will be
restarted as well. HOWEVER, any changes to the file system that the
Watcher is supposed to watch during the idle interval will go unnoticed.
Now, as long as changes to the files in the folder are also done by the
ASP.Net app, there will BE no changes while the app is stopped. So, while
I can't answer your question directly, this information, plus what you
already know, should give you the solution you need.

Your FileSystemWatcher is scoped to the method in which you instantiate
it. That means that it goes out of scope and is not available as soon
as the method returns. It may hang around for a bit since you have no
code to dispose it at any point, but you need to bone up on scope and
state. Here's a primer:
Scope is the "area of influence" of a variable. In a class, you have
global and local variables. Global variables are declared outside of
any methods, and are therefore "visible" to all members of the class.
Local variables are declared inside a method, and are therefore
"visible" only to other variables within a single instance (call) of
the method. Once the method returns, it is removed from the stack, and
everything in it becomes available for garbage collection.
Note that this differs from public, private, etc. These are also
definitions of scope, but are more related to encapsulation. Public
members of a class are "visible" from other classes. Private members
are not. Etc.
State refers to the persistence of an object (class instance or
primitive) in memory. Whenever an object is instantiated (created), it
must reside in memory somewhere. The lifetime of an object is limited
to the lifetime of the container in which it resides. A method is
instantiated, just like a variable, whenever you call it. And just like
a variable, when it returns, it is available for garbage collection.
The only way to persist an instance is to put it into something else
that persists. Hence, ASP.Net, which operates using HTTP, which is
stateless, has mechanisms for maintaining state, such as Session,
Application, and ViewState.
The global.asax class, as I mentioned in my earlier reply, is a
persistent class, but it's methods are not. They are instantiated like
any other methods, and pass out of scope as soon as they return.
I hope you will study what I've said, and continue to study how OOP
works as you go. In the meantime, you need to understand how to persist
your FileSystemWatcher, as well as making sure that when you are
finished with it, you dispose it.

If you're going to do that, you don't need anything right away, right? In
that case, you don't need a FileSystemWatcher at all, just a timer and
System.IO to check and keep track of the contents of the folder. Problem
solved, at least if you don't need the data immediately.

I don't need the data immidiately at all.I need to get them sometimes
anyway. just a timer and System.IO to check and keep track of the contents of the

you mean I should implement a timer in my class which makes my object to be

If you're going to do that, you don't need anything right away, right? In
that case, you don't need a FileSystemWatcher at all, just a timer and
System.IO to check and keep track of the contents of the folder. Problem
solved, at least if you don't need the data immediately.

Yes. However, be aware that an ASP.Net application will stop running
when it is idle (no requests) for a period of more than (by default) 20
minutes. When the application is stopped, the FileSystemWatcher will be
stopped. When the application restarts, the FileSystemWatcher will be
restarted as well. HOWEVER, any changes to the file system that the
Watcher is supposed to watch during the idle interval will go unnoticed.
Now, as long as changes to the files in the folder are also done by the
ASP.Net app, there will BE no changes while the app is stopped. So,
while I can't answer your question directly, this information, plus what
you already know, should give you the solution you need.

I mean that you should create a timer in your Application_OnStart event
handler, store it in the Application Cache, and let its Elapsed event
handler do the work. If your Application stops, the timer stops. But when
the Application starts, the timer restarts.
