File System Watcher

I am using the following code to monitor a directory for new files. The
problem is that when I add a new file to the directory the code creates two
events??? what do I have to do to limit it to only one event??

using System;

using System.IO;

namespace DirectoryWatcher

{

/// <summary>

/// Summary description for Class1.

/// </summary>

///
class DirectoryWatcher

{

/// <summary>

/// The main entry point for the application.

/// </summary>

///

public static void Main()

{

// Establish which directory to watch

FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher();

watcher.Path = @"C:\FTPIN";

// Setup things to be on the lookout for

watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.FileName;

// Setup filter for specific file types

watcher.Filter = "*.*";

// Define event handlers

watcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);

// Begin watching the directory

watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;

// Wait for user to quit program

Console.WriteLine(@"Press q to quit");

while(Console.Read()!='q');

}

private static void OnChanged(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)

{

Console.WriteLine("File: {0} {1}!", e.FullPath, e.ChangeType);

}

}

}
