Hi,

I have used a filesystemwatcher class in order to monitor a specific folder.Every thing is working fine.The problem i am facing is
"when a Bulk copy is made to the folder monitored,I need to to know when the Copy is over", so that i can take some actions on newly copied files/folder.

for ex:

if "C:\Myfolder" is the folder monitored and if i add 10000 files into it.it takes some time for copy.i can't take any action on the directory when the copy is in action since i may miss out some files that has to be copied.


The bottom line is "I have to get an acknowledgement for the copy completion for the folder monitored".

Answers with code[c#]or[vb.net] are appreciable.

Thanks in advance.:)

Filesystem watcher tell you the current file that was just added.

One possible way to manage this is create a thread which delays x number of secs / mins after a file(s) were added. Every time a file is added it resets the threads sleep.

Down falls of this is if files are constantly being added and no work can be done.

i can't apply delay.
I just need to know when copy is over to the folder monitored so that action can be taken on those files later on.

Any better advice is appreciable along with code.

cheers.
