Hi,

The filesystemwatch will watch directories.

Re: directory watcher ?

does it watch a directory being DELETED ?

i thot filewatch only watch FILES within subdirectory.

More concern is DIRECTORY itself being deleted.

Re: directory watcher ?

Hi,

Watch the directories parent for the directory being delete.
Simple example needs 2 buttons (btnDelete and btnAdd), a filesystemwatch er,
and listbox.

Imports System.IO


Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows. Forms.Form

#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "


Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Directory.Creat eDirectory("C:\ Watch me")
FileSystemWatch er1.Path = "C:\Watch me"
FileSystemWatch er1.IncludeSubd irectories = True

End Sub

Private Sub FileSystemWatch er1_Created(ByV al sender As Object, ByVal e
As System.IO.FileS ystemEventArgs) Handles FileSystemWatch er1.Created
Dim strOut As String

strOut = String.Format(" Created {0}", e.Name)
ListBox1.Items. Add(strOut)
End Sub

Private Sub btnAdd_Click(By Val sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles btnAdd.Click
Try
Directory.Creat eDirectory("C:\ Watch me\Delete me")
Catch ex As Exception

End Try
End Sub

Private Sub btnDelete_Click (ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles btnDelete.Click
Try
Directory.Delet e("C:\Watch me\Delete me")
Catch ex As Exception

End Try
End Sub

Private Sub FileSystemWatch er1_Deleted(ByV al sender As Object, ByVal e
As System.IO.FileS ystemEventArgs) Handles FileSystemWatch er1.Deleted
Dim strOut As String

strOut = String.Format(" Deleted {0}", e.Name)
ListBox1.Items. Add(strOut)

End Sub
End Class
