I have a FileSystemWatch er that triggers when a PDF file is created.
However, the creation of the PDF file is about a 7 or 8 second process ... I
cannot refer to the file during that time because it does not yet exist. If
I set up a loop using the Sleep API call, it loops forever and the software
that creates the PDF file stops progressing and the file never finishes
getting created. The FileSystemWatch er was triggered only on the beginning
of the process.
Is it possible to use the FileSystemWatch er to trigger when a file is
created and not just conceived?

Hi
Well you can try monitering both the Created and the Changed events of the FileWatcher for the PDB File.
The documentation of the Changed event states
The change of a file or folder. The types of changes include: changes to size, attributes, security settings, last write, and last access time.
So this event will fire when there is change to *size* which should happen after the process of compilation is compelete.

I use FileSystemWatcher.Changed event to capture an excel workbook being saved. Since the save button in excel is always enabled and each time click save the workbook is saved again and its modified time will be the current time. It seems that the file watcher changed event is not fired if the workbook has no changes since last save although the workbook last modified time has been changed.
Any ideas
Thank
Jie

I have the need to monitor a directory for the arrival of files and then to
run some processing on those new files. This is easy enough conceptually,
the problem I have is that I get an event to handle when the file is first
created yet is not fully written to the disk yet. Is there some simple way
(that will pass a code review) that I can determine when the file write to
disk has been completed so I can do my processing? Thank you.

Hi,
I'm experimenting with FileSystemWatcher but it doesn't seem like it fires
when a new file is created. Everytime I create a new file, it fires Changed
event i.e. Case WatcherChangeTypes.Created never fires. Please point out my
mistake. Thanks.

Hi, I have several independent, system components that write audit
events to a database locally via ODBC and remotely via TCP, and I have
a requirement to audit when the database is available for modification.
First, does SQL Server have a concept of starting/stopping specific

NT service MSSQLSERVER stops?
Second, Oracle has system event triggers, e.g. AFTER...

I am trying to find out exactly when this even fires when a file is
"created" in a directory being monitored. That is, for a large file, that
takes several minutes to upload, will the created event fire as soon as the
file starts loading, or only when the file has been completely uploaded.
I can't find any documentation to this at MSDN.
Thanks,
Ripley

After a user edits a Cell in one of my DataGridViews, I want to make
sure what the user has typed in is 'valid'. If it's not, I want to
Cancel the Edit.
Ok, you say, use the CellValidating event for this. That's fine, I
have... BUT...
As you experts probably know, the CellValidating event triggers not
just when a user EDITS a cell, but seemingly any time a Cell is
selected. (Feel free to tell me I'm wrong about this, by the way).

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
