My app is creating a word document which my app calls saveas() and saves it
to a given directory that is being watched by a fileSystemWatch er. The
problem is that the fileSystemEvent Handler for creation is only called for
the temporary filed created by word which shows up as ~$documentName. doc the
real file named MyDocument.doc will never invoke the fileSystemEvent Handler
for creation. Now when the user closes Word the temporary file is deleted
and my app only had a handle to that file.
How come I am not getting any notification about the creation of the real
file even though it was saved using saveas() and I do see it created in
windows explorer?

Off the top of my head, I would say that the temp file is being created and
then renamed to the final filename. When a file is renamed, a create is
not fired for the new name. Try setting up your FileSystemWatch er to
handle the rename event.

To send me an E-mail, remove the "[", "]", underscores ,lunchmeat, and
replace certain words in my E-Mail address.
Thanks,
What I discovered is that the temporary ~$documentName. doc never gets
renamed, it is just deleted on close. However another file is created at the
same time as the ~$documentName. doc that doesn't even have the .doc
extension, which was why I wasn't seeing it, it is usually something like
wrd005.tmp this then gets subsequently renamed into MyDocument.doc. I
therefore had to ignore the creates of .doc files that start with ~ and
catch renames from a .tmp extension to .doc extensions.

Hi there,
I am experimenting with the FileSystemWatcher object. I have set the

I'm watching a folder for new files. When the files arrive, I want to
wait until it is done being written to and then move it.
Every time I move a file into the test folder, it triggers 3 calls to
the OnChanged handler.
I can't tell what is changing between the 2nd and 3rd call to know
whether it is safe to move the file yet? If I was certain it was
always 3, I could go then but I'm not sure that it will always be 3
calls.

I have been working on trying to write a directory watcher service.
One of the requirments is that it be able to watch multiple
directories, not sub directories of one parent directory, but just
multiple directories.
I have hit a snag and don't know how to get around it.
Basically I read in a list of directories from the app.config and stuff
them into an array, so that I have something like this:

Hi,
I write an application which waits for incomming files in a specified

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
