what to do, what to do

[Guest]

hey all,

i have a windows service that uses a FileSystemWatcher. When a file arrives
i need to do quite a few things to it. my question is should i put the rest
of the process in a separate vb program and just call that in the event. Or
just have the entire process inside the service?

thanks,
rodchar

you should spawn a thread to do the workload. Leave your service lean
and mean.

rodchar,

See the thread from yesterday, Subject "System.IO.FileSystemWatcher is missing alot of files."
I posted an example using the FileSystemWatcher along with a worker thread.

Just wondering...would the following also be examples of spawining a new
thread in addition to Al's example?

dim proc as new process

or

use vbscript's wscript.Run

Thanks,
