Is there a way to determine with the FSW if a file or a directory has been deleted?
Here's a simplified and corrected version of fletcher's solution:
namespace Watcher
{
class Program
{
private const string Directory = @"C:\Temp";
private static FileSystemWatcher _fileWatcher;
private static FileSystemWatcher _dirWatcher;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
_fileWatcher = new FileSystemWatcher(Directory);
_fileWatcher.IncludeSubdirectories = true;
_fileWatcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.FileName;
_fileWatcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
_fileWatcher.Deleted += WatcherActivity;
_dirWatcher = new FileSystemWatcher(Directory);
_dirWatcher.IncludeSubdirectories = true;
_dirWatcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.DirectoryName;
_dirWatcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
_dirWatcher.Deleted += WatcherActivity;
Console.ReadLine();
}
static void WatcherActivity(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
if(sender == _dirWatcher)
{
Console.WriteLine("Directory:{0}",e.FullPath);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("File:{0}",e.FullPath);
}
}
}
}
