FileSystemWatcher problems

Hello,

I'm trying to use the filesystemwatcher to watch for changes to my windows
service's config file so that I can load the changes on the fly. However, I'm
running into some trouble doing so.

It seems that when I'm editing the config file in VS, it creates a temp file
in the directory marked as "appname.exe.config~<some random chars>.tmp". If I
have the fsw watch just the config file ie. appname.exe.config, no event is
raised when I change the file. When I change the filter to
"appname.exe.config*", a change event occurs but I have trouble reading from
the new config file. If I edit the file in Notepad, no tmp file is created
but 2 changed events are raised.

I have event handlers for all events (changed, created, renamed, deleted)
and changed is the only one that is raised. I'm not sure how the changes are
transferred from the tmp file to the .config file.

Can anyone shed some light as to what is happening? OR provide me with a
better way of loading changes on the fly?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks

Nicholas
