Hi i'm an event Noob and i'm calling a class from my main module console app
like this. I'm sorry if this is a lot of code to read but i can't see the
error according to my book.
Thanks a LOT.
if there are other noobs here like me feel free to use my code if it's of
any use :)
I've set a breakpoint at doWorkOnChangedFile but notinh happens... i'm
flooding my log like hell.

HERE IT IS.
you declare your FileWatcher in the wrong context. Don't declare its type
within a method, but declare it within the class
to make things easier you would declare it WithEvents, so you have
Public WithEvents oWatcher as FileSystemWatch
then in your method below
oWatcher = new FilesystemWatcher()
Public Function doWatchFileForChanges() As Boolean
Dim oWatcherFileWatcher As New FileSystemWatcher

Thanks for your help CJ (Are you the same CJ that used to hang on
#windowsnt on irc back in 1997 ?)
Beaming a beer to you in return (damn... core dump... hmm damn debug)
However it still doesn't raise events... reading like hell over here...
I also tried adding this line after EnableRaisingEvents
oWatcherFileWatcher.EnableRaisingEvents = True
oWatcherFileWatcher.WaitForChanged(WatcherChangeTy pes.All)
but WaitForChanged never returns...
Are you using an actual event handler? I mean this is in the nicest way
possible, but do you understand event driven programming?
WaitForChanged only works on the last fired event. it doesn't actually
notify. It kinda works like a timer.
what you want to do is have aother method in there that is like this
WaitForChanged is basically

Hi again!
I just came home from work and i've been playing around with the code for a
while... It turns out there is nothing wrong with my code...
I changed the code to monitor the entire directory and it triggers if i have
a text file in the directory and i open the text file in textpad and change
that file....
However it wont trigger on my Kiwi Syslog Deamon's log file ( The
SyslogDeamon is running and windows explorer updates the logfile's
attributes everytime the logfile get's updated).
The logfile has a lock on it. i can open the logfile in textpad but i can't
write to it since there is a write lock on it...
Is this a limitation of the FileSystemWatcher ? If so is there a way around
this ? Darn fck'in stupid FileSystemWatcher if it is so.... The windows
Explorer sure notify the changes in the file and update's it's size and file
attributes...

#windowsnt on irc back in 1997 ?)
Beaming a beer to you in return (damn... core dump... hmm damn debug)
However it still doesn't raise events... reading like hell over here...
I also tried adding this line after EnableRaisingEvents
oWatcherFileWatcher.EnableRaisingEvents = True
oWatcherFileWatcher.WaitForChanged(WatcherChangeTy pes.All)
but WaitForChanged never returns...
damn stupid me... i have solved it... in my contructor i also open this log
file for reading to have a stream ready for the event which is supposed to
read the changes in the log file :D
