FileSystemWatch er does not fire Created event

Hi,

I'm experimenting with FileSystemWatch er 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 WatcherChangeTy pes.Created never fires. Please point out my
mistake. Thanks.

Michael
Public Sub New(ByVal sToObserve As String)
m_sFileObserved = sToObserve
m_Watcher = New FileSystemWatch er
fiFileInfo = New FileInfo(m_sFil eObserved)
If (fiFileInfo.Exi sts = False) Then
With m_Watcher
.Path = m_sFileObserved
.Filter = "*.txt" '<--------------Only look at alarm
logs
.IncludeSubdire ctories = False
End With
Else
With m_Watcher
.Path = fiFileInfo.Dire ctoryName.ToStr ing
.Filter = fiFileInfo.Name .ToString
.IncludeSubdire ctories = False
End With
End If

m_Watcher.Notif yFilter = NotifyFilters.L astWrite Or
NotifyFilters.C reationTime

AddHandler m_Watcher.Chang ed, AddressOf OnChanged
AddHandler m_Watcher.Delet ed, AddressOf OnChanged
AddHandler m_Watcher.Renam ed, AddressOf OnRenamed
AddHandler m_Watcher.Error , AddressOf onError

m_Watcher.Enabl eRaisingEvents = True
End Sub

Private Sub OnChanged(ByVal source As Object, _
ByVal e As FileSystemEvent Args)
Dim sChange As String
Select Case e.ChangeType
Case WatcherChangeTy pes.Changed
sChange = "Changed"
Case WatcherChangeTy pes.Created
sChange = "Created"
Case WatcherChangeTy pes.Deleted
sChange = "deleted"
End Select
end sub

I'm using the FileSystemWatcher to looks for new files arriving in a directory. Files are coming in via FTP and tend to be larger is size (> 1MB at least). I would like to fire an event once the file is completely written. I understand there is nothing "exactly" like that due to how the OS filesystem works, so I am looking for a workaround. I am currently attempting to open the "new" file in

I have a FileSystemWatcher 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 FileSystemWatcher was triggered only on the...

How do I prevent the FileSystemWatcher event to keep firing while the file is being created? When copying a file to the watched folder, the event fires a dozen or more times! Also, the documentation states that if more than one file is copied to the folder at the same time, a cache will queue them up for processing, but when I drop 3 files into this folder, only the 1st (sometimes the first two) cause the event to fire. Thanks, Troy

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();

Hi, I want to use the FileSystemWatcher in a Windows Service. I read an article, where the author created the FileSystemWatcher object in a seperate thread and when the event is fired, he started a working thread for processing the file, created a new FileSystemWatcher (as he said for real time processing), and then called the join method for the first thread. I can't really see the sence in this. Aren't the events of the...
