Filesystemwatch er created event

I am trying to find out exactly when this even fires when a file is
"created" in a directory being monitored. That is, for a large file, that
takes several minutes to upload, will the created event fire as soon as the
file starts loading, or only when the file has been completely uploaded.

I can't find any documentation to this at MSDN.

Thanks,
Ripley

Nevermind - a google search soon turned up this page:
http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/jschr.../06/12886.aspx
In it, the author explains that the created event is fired as soon as the
first byte is written. He then shows a way to handle this.
:)

Thanks, I was wondering about that myself.
Good luck with your project,

I'm setting up a watched folder using FileSystemWatcher. When I drop a small file into the watched folder, I can respond to a .Created event and process the file with other code. However, if I try copying a large file into the watched folder, the .Created event is fired off immediately and not when the file is finished copying. I have tried waiting for a certain number of .Changed events to be fired after the initial .Created event, and...

How do I prevent the FileSystemWatcher event to keep firing while the file is being created? When copying a file to the watched folder, the event fires a dozen or more times! Also, the documentation states that if more than one file is copied to the folder at the same time, a cache will queue them up for processing, but when I drop 3 files into this folder, only the 1st (sometimes the first two) cause the event to fire. Thanks, Troy

I'm trying to figure out a way to catch when a file has been written to a directory. I currently have it where I can catch when the file begins writing, but this isn't helpful as I need to know when its done. Does anyone know the right combination of flags to use to catch when the file has been written and closed? (here is my current code). // member variable FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher();

Hi, I developed a filewatcher service to monitor file creation on a network drive - 90% time it works fine and from time to time I found out that the newly created file on that network drive does not trigger the event - all I have to do is to restart the service. I kind of suspect the reason is when the target matchine where monitored drive is on gets rebooted, the filesystemwatcher lost its "monioring" capability, is that true? if...

Hi, I want to use the FileSystemWatcher in a Windows Service. I read an article, where the author created the FileSystemWatcher object in a seperate thread and when the event is fired, he started a working thread for processing the file, created a new FileSystemWatcher (as he said for real time processing), and then called the join method for the first thread. I can't really see the sence in this. Aren't the events of the...

System.IO.FileSystemWatcher When a user copies and pastes a file from one directory to a directory that is monitored by the FileSystemWatcher, the FileSystemWatcher executes twice, once for a CREATED file event and once for a CHANGED file event. I think I understand why. First the monitored file is created and then contents are inserted into it. (Although the file datetime remains the same.) This is not what I require. If there is...

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,...
