windows - Watch drive or folder for writes/changes? -


i application informed when file copied, created/written to, deleted, moved, etc. i'd on drive or folders. how do on windows?

your first port of call should filesystemwatcher class.

you tell folders want watch, , want watch - creations, deletions, changes, etc.

be warned however, in time takes event raised , handled application contents of folder may have changed again should use event guide something has happened interested in , check contents of folder make sure process things correctly.

another thing bear in mind that, pointed out in this blog, file created event fired @ start of creation process, not end. means if have large file need able either wait created or cope partial file.
