Help: FileSystemWatch er weird problem!

Hello,

I have some weird problem with the FileSystemWatch er. I have developed
an application that monitors a network directory for file changes of a
certain file type. The program runs well for a week. Then suddenly the
monitored network server starts to behave crazily. It sends to my Sync
Server dozens of replicated file change events. Say one file was
changed two days ago, but the monitored server still keeps sending me
many many events of that file. It sends me 9000 events in a minutes
and keeps sending me so many events hour by hour. This drives me
crazy!! Our network server is a Windows 2000 Server. It's a important
server that many people here need to access it and modify files on the
monitored directory.

Why that network server keeps sending me false 'file change' event? Is
that some kind of worm? What windows service does FileSystemWatch er
events rely on? I have check the event log, but it doesn't help much.
Please help! THANKS.

Here is some code in my application. I don't think my code have some
problem, because the server can run for serveral days without any
problem. The problem is my sync server got toooo many false events!!

--------------------------
watcher.Path = srcdir; // monitored network directory
watcher.Filter= filetype; //certain file type such as"*.doc"
watcher.Include Subdirectories = true;
watcher.NotifyF ilter =
NotifyFilters.F ileName|NotifyF ilters.LastWrit e|NotifyFilters .DirectoryName| NotifyFilters.S ize;
watcher.Interna lBufferSize=819 2*8;

// Setup event handlers
watcher.Changed += new FileSystemEvent Handler(OnChang ed);
watcher.Created += new FileSystemEvent Handler(OnChang ed);
watcher.Deleted += new FileSystemEvent Handler(OnDelet ed);
watcher.Renamed += new RenamedEventHan dler(OnRenamed) ;
watcher.Error += new ErrorEventHandl er(OnError);

// Enable the FileSystemWatch er to notify events
watcher.EnableR aisingEvents = true;

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: sDirsToWatch = "C:\Temp"

Hi, I write an application which waits for incomming files in a specified directory. I thought, that using the FileSystemWatcher would be the best, as it does exactly what I need.

If my application is started while there are already files in the directory (which is realistic, as the application could...

Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I have been battling a problem for nearly a month with the FileSystemWatcher component. Basically, what I am trying to do it to monitor three separate folders on a Windows 2000 server for activity. In my code, I have set up three separate subroutines: FaxWatch() ReportWatch() ScheduleWatch() Each of the subroutines creates a new instance of the FileSystemWatcher.

I've got a form element (a wizard, actually) which is giving me problems when I try to invoke some of its methods from one of the methods of a filesystemwatcher. Basically the watcher sits there waiting to see the file and then it's supposed to go to the next page (wizard1.Next()). I get an InvalidOperationException when I do this, though, and as near as I can tell it's because the watcher creates a new thread and it's trying to access...

I am trying to find out if there is a way to tell if there is already a filesystemwatcher (created by a webservice) monitoring a folder. I have a webservice that creates a filesystemwatcher, monitors a folder and then returns the contents of the new/changed files. However, if the client app loses connection to the webservice without closing the filewatcher, and then reconnects (and thus creates a new watcher), I believe I end up with...
