Question on the FSW class. I have it set to watch all files in a given direcotry with the filter set to *.* or null "". Is it possible to set it up to ONLY watch directories for changes, etc, and NOT watch files?

Thanks,

Billy

What changes you are talking about? Can you explain little more?

Ok,

Right now the FSW Class is watching a Directory for me call it X:\Test. If a file is deleted, renamed, or attributes changed in this direcotry I get an email on what file it was and who did it. Now I want to not get notices when the files under that directory are affected but rather when the directory itself is X:\Test. Is this possible?

Use the property "IncludeSubdirectories" and set that to "True" to enable events on subdirectories also. On the event you can check the file affected is within the directory ("X:\Test") if it is then skip or if it is within one of the subdirectories then you can proceed processing.

Thank you for the idea. However I already have subdirectories on. My problem is that I do not want to log the files being deleted renamed etc but only the directories themselfs. So as in the orginal example. If X:\Test got deleted I would like to know that and not if X:\Test\test.txt got deleted.

Thanks,

Billy

Check within the event it is a directory or not if it is an directory then proceed with processing.

To find whether the path is directory or not, use like blow

if(Directory.Exists(e.FullPath ))
{

}
