File Watcher

hi all

Does anybody knows how can i manipulate the file watcher event queue to know
which other events are waiting for been processed ??

Because i need to know exactly wich was the operation the user did over a
file; for ex. if the user moves a file the file watcher throws 4 events and
i need to treat them as a group to know exactly what to do (in this case
restore the path stored in my bd ).

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();
