A problem about FileSystemWathcher(BUG???)

[Guest]

Sir:
I have used FileSystemWathcher(.NET class) to monitor file change
envent.The code as list:

......................

int i=0; //Counter for Changed event after FileCreated event
private void IntializeFileSystemWatcher()
{
//Create File System Watcher in mypath for new files
fsWatcher=new System.IO.FileSystemWatcher(mypath,"*.*");

// Add event handlers for new files and change of existing files.
fsWatcher.Changed += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnFileChanged);
fsWatcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnFileCreated);

// Begin watching.
fsWatcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;

}

private void OnFileChanged(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
i++;
}

/// <summary>
/// Event Handler for File Created
///
/// </summary>
private void OnFileCreated(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
i=0;
Thread thread=new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.StartListen));
thread.Start();
}

//Wait for Changed event fired,But only get once.
void StartListen()
{
WaitForChangedResult
r=fsWatcher.WaitForChanged(WatcherChangeTypes.Changed);
bool b=r.TimedOut;
}
......................

When I break at "bool b=r.TiedOut" this line,I got only one Changed
event.But when I check i value,it is more then 1.
Why????
inexplicability!!!!
Is there something wrong? Can you help me to explain this situation?
Thank You!!!

If you have a lot of changes in a small time, you might get just one
notification.

From
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.filesystemwatcher.internalbuffersize(VS.80).aspx

"The Windows operating system notifies your component of file changes in a
buffer created by the FileSystemWatcher. If there are many changes in a
short time, the buffer can overflow. This causes the component to lose track
of changes in the directory, and it will only provide blanket notification."

You are right about event buffer.

My code can capture more then one changed event notify. But use
WaitForChanged() API,I can only capture 1 changed event,where are others? I
want to know underground processing about event notify, maybe I can get
explain with more reason.
