File System Watcher On Mac With Bootcamp?
May 25, 2011I 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?

Writing A File Directory Watcher
Sep 19, 2009I 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.
