Hello,
I have a FileSystemWatch er looking at a particular directory. When I copy a
large file (750 MB) to this directory I receive multiple Change events. I am
fine with this but when I call File.GetLastWri teTime in the Change event it
returns the current date and time not the date and time windows explorer
shows as Last Write Time. If the file is small everything works fine. Is
there a way to fix this issue?
Thanks,
Ken

The FilesystemWatch er is far from be an exact science. Probably you get
that time cause the file still is being changed (or open to write).
Unfortunately there is no CloseFile event, so you dont know when the file
was closed.
If the file is small probably what is happening is that the file is closed
already by the time you handle the LastWrite event.

Hello,
Any suggestions on a work around? Is there something beside the
fileSystemWatch er that should be utilized. Anyway to determine when the file
is finished with the copy process?
Thanks,

Hi,
Well if you program itself copy the file you can rise an event when the file
is copied completely.
Other than that, I do not think you have a way.
A dirty solution could be trying to open the file for write, as it's open by
another process you should get an exception, you put this in a timer and you
are done.

I'm setting up a watched folder using FileSystemWatcher.
When I drop a small file into the watched folder, I can

the watched folder, the .Created event is fired off
immediately and not when the file is finished copying. I

I'm trying to use FileSystemWatcher to determine when a new file has been

I have this problem when working with FileSystemWatcher class. I m
using one of these objects to watch over a folder. Whenever i big file
from another folder to the folder being watched, I get created event
and multiple changed events.
After the file is copied (fully) i want to read the file and perform
some operations on it. Now the issue is, there is no way to find that
the file has been copied entirely.
