C# FileSystemWatcher with multi path

[eyal]

Hi,

I need to detect changes on several directory at the same time.

for example: D:\temp c:\docs and so on.
the problem is that this component have 1 'Path' in it's attribute.
how can i solve this problem?

i'm using C# ( and i'm new to this language )

Please help.

Eyal,

In order to get around this, you have to have multiple instances of the
FileSystemWatcher class, each pointing to a different path to watch.

Hope this helps.

Use a distinct instance of FileSystemWatcher for each directory (unless you
have to watch all subdirs of a given directory; in this case you can use a
single FileSystemWatcher).

Hi,

You have to use one instance for each directory.
What you can do is use the same method to handle the events from ALL the
instances.
