problem: how to know when temporary static files are requested so that they can be deleted...

In .NET and C#, is there anyway to create a hook for a specific
directory or file where my C# .NET software can monitor which static
web files are requested by the browser?

What I am doing is writing temporary files to a specific directory for
a specific user, and then when the user has requested each file in
that directory, I want to delete all of them.

It will also work if I can delete each temporary file after it is
requested. These files are only requested once, and after that I
would like them to be automatically deleted.

For example, a temporary file might be a GIF file such as
confidential.gi f, and after that file is requested once I want it to
be immediately deleted from the temporary directory for that user's
id.

Any suggestions or possible workarounds?

Thanks,

Frank

I have created a windows service that reads emails from a drop directory and moves them to the appropriate mail folder every 15 seconds. I can move, rename and delete the files as needed, up until the CDO.DropDirectory.GetMessages() method is called. At this point, the files are locked until I shut down the service. After processing and delivery, I need to be able to delete all the files in the drop directory. I can delete them via...

Hi, I'm trying to clear the TIF on Windows XP programmatically with the below code. This code works fine on any folder but the TIF. For some reason the atEnd() statements always defaults to true and no files are deleted in the folder. The peculiarity of this issue is that the files/subfolders cannot be seen through the windows explorer either. I can only access/delete them through a command shell. Any ideas?

I've just read Christoph Schittko's article on XmlSerializer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnxmlnet/html/trblshtxsd.asp . . . and very informative it is too. I, too, am getting nasty FileNotFound exceptions. I've read, and digested the article, and I think I've found a bug -- it's difficult to track, though it does happen often.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
