Some Problem With FileSystemWatcher openNETCF

[Bercea Gabriel]

Hi all....i am trying to make an mobile application that will monitor
all changes done by all processes on the mobile witch involves
Creating Renaming Deleteing Changeing of a file or a directory. Let's
restrict it to myDocument for example and i want to know When a file
is modified creaded deleted in any way...

I saw the sample Example that uses The FileSystemWatcher And it
monitor File Creation and so one ...only when the file is created by
me from myApp ....what i want is to be able to monitor files that i
create from any process in the directory(myDocuments) that is
monitored by the file system wather...



Here is the part them the code that needs your attention and help...



namespace XmlParser
{
public class My_Monitor
{


public My_Monitor() {

string root_myDocuments;
root_myDocuments =
System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);

FileSystemWatcher File_Monitor = new
FileSystemWatcher(root_myDocuments,"*.*");

File_Monitor.IncludeSubdirectories = true;
File_Monitor.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.CreationTime |
NotifyFilters.DirectoryName | NotifyFilters.FileName |
NotifyFilters.CreationTime | NotifyFilters.Size |
NotifyFilters.LastAccess;
File_Monitor.EnableRaisingEvents = true;

File_Monitor.Created += new
FileSystemEventHandler(File_Monitor_Created);
File_Monitor.Changed += new
FileSystemEventHandler(File_Monitor_Changed);
File_Monitor.Deleted += new
FileSystemEventHandler(File_Monitor_Deleted);
File_Monitor.Renamed += new
RenamedEventHandler(File_Monitor_Renamed);




}

void File_Monitor_Renamed(object sender, RenamedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("File Renamed");
}

void File_Monitor_Deleted(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs
e)
{

MessageBox.Show("File Deleted");
}

void File_Monitor_Changed(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs
e)
{
MessageBox.Show("File Changed");
}

void File_Monitor_Created(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs
e)
{
MessageBox.Show("File Created");

}
}
}







namespace xmlprser
{
public partial class MobileSync : Form
{
public MobileSync()
{
InitializeComponent();
My_Monitor S_Monitor = new My_Monitor();
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{


this.label1.Text = "intra";

System.IO.StreamWriter sw = System.IO.File.CreateText("\
\My Documents\\test.txt");
sw.WriteLine("Test");
sw.Flush();
sw.Close();


Create_XmlTemplate xml = new Create_XmlTemplate();


}

private void quit_b_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Application.Exit();
}

private void button2_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DirectoryInfo dw = new DirectoryInfo("\\My Documents\
\MADe_now");
if (dw.Exists)
{
MessageBox.Show("Dir Already exists");

}
else
{
dw.Create();
MessageBox.Show("Dir Created");
}
}

}
}



I dont want to create the files and directors from myapp so i can get
an eventhandler get's trigered.Like it is working now.



I want after i start my app and browse for example to the My Documents
if i make a dir to be notified by my app that a file was created in
the dir that i am monitoring...





I hope i was clear about it. Can anybody help me with this ? is it
possible using FileSystemWatcher(can it be used the way i want it).How
does FileSystemWather works ? i thought i got it but now i am
confused.

Something like this Using only c# is what i want my app to do

It doesnt trigger any event after i start my app and go to the dir and
create a file folder it won't trigger if i add a buttern and create it
from my app it triggers the event..I want it to monitor even if i dont
make the dir from the app itselft Thanks


Thanks in advance...Raz..

I created unit tests for create and delete on Friday based on (I assume)
your questions to our support forums and they worked as expected. There
must be something that's non-stanbdard about what you're doing, so I'd
recommend creating a very simple app that reproduces the problem and sending
it to us.
