FileSystemWatcher does not work correctly

Hello,

I've got following sourcecode to watch a single file:

_fileWatcher = new
FileSystemWatcher(Path.GetDirectoryName(xmlWorkflo wResult),
Path.GetFileName(xmlWorkflowResult));
_fileWatcher.IncludeSubdirectories = false;
_fileWatcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
_fileWatcher.Created += new
FileSystemEventHandler(this.OnChangedWorkflowResul tXML);
_fileWatcher.Changed += new
FileSystemEventHandler(this.OnChangedWorkflowResul tXML);
_fileWatcher.Deleted += new
FileSystemEventHandler(this.OnChangedWorkflowResul tXML);

Now if I create the watched file, the create event is NOT raised. If I
change the file name to another name and then back to the watched
name, the changed event is NOT raised. BUT: If I delete the watched
file, the delete event is raised.

What could be the problem?

Thank you,
Norbert
