[raghu]

Hi All
Anyone help me to set multiple drives for FileSystemWatch er component.

FileSystemWatch er watcher=new FileSystemWatch er();
watcher.Path = "c:\"

this is working fine.

If i give
watcher.Path = "c:\,d:\"

its throwing exception. Is there anyway to achive this?

thanks in advance
Raghu.

Re: FileSystemWatch er

Set up multiple watchers, but have them all event to the same callback.

Hi Roger
thanks for your reply. But this solution is not the right for me. Incase if my client has 10 Drives i cannot ask him to create 10 different watchers.
Cannot we setup multiple drives with Path property

Hi!

FSW is used to watch and monitor for changes, only one folder (eg. C:\, D:\,
etc). Create multiple watchers for multiple drives.

Re: FileSystemWatch er

Hi Raghu!

The watcher is based upon the FindFirstChange Notification Win32 API, and
that itself allows to monitor only a single folder and its subtree. Thus,
you will need a seperate watcher for each root drive folder.
