Filters

[Iceman]

I have the following in my code:

watchfolder = New System.IO.FileSystemWatcher()

What I want to do is have it watch for multiple file
types. Is there a way to specify multiple filters?

Thanks.

I think it is not possible. You probably have to watch all files and filter
manually in the FileSystemWatcher's event handlers.

AFAIS this cannot be done.

I forgot to add, but you probably already know this: You can create several
FileSystemWatcher objects. Each one can watch one file type.

I had forgotten. Thanks for the reminder, that is just
what I wanted.
