Hi!
I want to create an event that is fiered when a file is accessed (Opened).
What i want to do is monitor a directory and subdirectory if files are
opened.
I have tried to use the FileSystemWatcher. But it didn't work as i expected.
I cant get it to fire an event when a file is accessed.
Any hints? Ideas, Links?
Regards

It can be done (in Windows at least) - check out the tool FileMon from www.sysinternals.com for an example. I suspect you will need interop
to the Windows API. Sorry I can't point you to which API call you will
need.

Hi,
Did you try NotifyFilters.LastAccess ?
If not good enough for you , then you will have to p/invoke some win api
(which should not be nice)

This can't be done from user space, you'll have to write a FS filter driver, something which
is not possible using managed code.
Not sure why you need this though, mind to tell us?
Willy.
I am creating a simple RCS.
The thing is we have a 4G development software and it's a bit odd. The new
version simply
locks the development area when a user opens a workspace.
What i want to do is have a master on the server, each developer should have
a local copy.
When a user opens a file for editing on a local computer, it will check what
file is opened. Check against a list. If the file is opened, it will tell
the user that the file is currentlu beeing edited by another user. And a
little more functions which i dont have time to describe right now...

Post your code, not only you need to correctly set the NotifyEvents but also
you need to assign the correct event handler.
Are you activating the FileSystemWatcher?

Hi!
Yes the filewatcher is enabled...
I have assigned every event, Change, Create. etc
But it will not simply raise
If i add all the filters i can se when its changed, created etc. But any
events on when the file is opened is not done.

Sorry, the other post went away before I finished writting it :)
So in that is the case you may have to deal with P/invoke.
Even so, I would advise you to first try to explorer WMI, maybe you have a
way of doing it using WMI
