How to use multiple filters for FileSystemWatch er()?

How can I do multiple file filters for the File watcher?

This does work:
watchfolder = New System.IO.FileS ystemWatcher
watchfolder.fil ter = "*.txt"

This doesn't work:
watchfolder.fil ter = "*.txt;*.gi f"

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brett

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 created a Windows Service application which uses FileSystemWatcher to monitor multiple folders and file filters. These folders/files are loaded from a database table. When a Change Event kicks off, how can I determine which of the FileSystemWatcher instances it is for? Terry

Hello, I have built a .NET remoting solution (SingleCall) that writes a file to disk, then waits for a second file in a specified folder (using the FileSystemWatcher.WaitForChanged method). When the component is called by two peers at the same time, two FileSystemWatchers are created (one for each peer). They are both monitoring the same path (but for different files - using different filters). The following code illustrates the...

Hi, What's the best way to watch several directories (not sub dirs) with FileSystemWatcher? Should I create an array of them, vector, or something else? Also, performance-wise, how many directories can I watch on a decent computer, say low P4 512 MB RAM? Thanks!

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: 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,...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies. I'm particularly interested in Zigbee because I've heard it does some...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs. The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols. I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
