I have a directory on my site that I keep a bunch of text files in. The
Application keeps the first line of each of these files in an
HttpApplicationState variable as a SortedList. When I add or modify one of
the files in this directory, I want to delete this HttpApplicationState
variable. I tried to do this using the following lines of code in
Global.asax.vb:
Private WithEvents poemfilewatcher As New
IO.FileSystemWatcher(HttpContext.Current.Server.Ma pPath("/poetry/poems/"))
Private Sub PoemDirModified(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles poemfilewatcher.Changed,
poemfilewatcher.Created, poemfilewatcher.Deleted
HttpContext.Current.Application.Lock()
HttpContext.Current.Application.Remove("poemlist")
HttpContext.Current.Application.UnLock()
End Sub
Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
poemfilewatcher.IncludeSubdirectories = True
poemfilewatcher.EnableRaisingEvents = True
End Sub
However, when I add, delete, or modify a file in the directory it does seem
to delete the HttpApplicationState variable. Am I forgetting to do
something? Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated, or
possibly an example. Thanks.
