View 7 RepliesI created a VB.NET 4.0 program that uses the FileSystemWatcher class to monitor a file for changes. I have one user who is on a Mac running a Windows virtualization. Here is her description of her setup (p.s. Revit is not my program, mine is suplementary to Revit and works with the keynote file mentioned):
I work on an iMac (Snow Leopard,) and have Revit 2012 installed in a Boot Camp partition of Windows 7, which I then run through a Parallels 6 window. I used to run Revit just through Parallels, sans Boot Camp, but this seems to work better (faster.) I do store my Revit files in the Mac OS, but the keynote file is in Windows 7. Obviously this is a non-standard setup, but it is causing the FileSystemWatcher to fail. Is anyone familiar with this or know why it's failing or if it can be fixed?
I am using FileSystemWatcher in order renaming files within a Watched directory.The problem occurs if the number of files copied simultaneously to the watched directory exceeds the number of 50...The rename event is fired successfully for the first 50 files, but after that nothing happens?

I want to write a simple program, which should inform me before any files getting open (like as User account control in Windows Vista or Windows 7). I came to know that all antiviruses use this technique to detect viruses before they are affecting the system. My program must ask me as "Are you allow this file to run?" and allow it if I allow otherwise terminate the file.

I need to write a small program that monitors a group of file directories for files being written to them and them move them as quickly as possible to a different process directory.I was very happy to find FileSystemWatcher in .NET. The event fires immediately. Unfortunately it fires when the very frist byte hits the directory.I'm using the following event:[code]My problem with this is, I am following up with code to move this file and if the file is big enough I will get the error:"process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".That make sense to me but I'm struggling with finding a "file complete" event or some other programmatic indication that the file has completly arrived and can be "moved".I don't want to set an arbitrary timer.These files are on their way to a printer and I don't want to stick delays in a process that the users will notice and complain about.

Using: Visual Studio 2005.We are developing three different applications. We currently have 4 different modules that we all share among our applications. When a change is made to one of the modules, we must make changes to the other two modules.If it is possible, how do you (where do you) create a single location for one file to be shared among three different applications? Hopefully this will avoid the unnecessay task of changing a file three times.

But when I upgraded to VS2008 the utility can no longer locate files in the active system folder. I have UAC turned off and am logged in as the Administrator and it still can not locate a file that I can see in Windows Explorer. The file I am looking for is PakMgr.exe.
