Andrews Fri, 05 Feb 2010 22:06:32 +0000 http://markscerri.com/?p=126#comment-47 Thank you for the suggestion. I understand what you mean by adding the files to a "queue" or List but the problem IS the processing part. Is there something more efficient than trying to open the file with a try/catch?

For your scenario you can do the following. Create a file queue (you can use a List with the names of the files) and a timer. As the FileWatcher tries to process the file and fails (because it is still copying) add the file reference in the created queue. Then every time the timer fires the tick event for each file in the queue you can try to process the file. If this succeeds (therefore the file has finished copying) remove the reference from the queue. Unfortunately you cannot force FileWatcher to wait until the file has finished copying.

These files are being copied into the folder over the network by users and average around 50+ mb each. FileWatcher notices the file coming in and immediately tries to process it before it has finished copying. My question is, what is the best way to force FileWatcher to wait until the file has finished copying before trying to process the file? Scenerio:

Andrews Tue, 02 Feb 2010 20:51:01 +0000 http://markscerri.com/?p=126#comment-43 Excellent post. I've noticed that many people are having a hard time, including myself, with the FileWatcher classes in determining when a file has completed writing before processing it. Have you found an effecient and reliable way to do so? Excellent post.

Nice post. I'm using IsolatedStorageFile for saving application data. How can I prevent loosing association to the IsolatedStorageFile if the Assemply will be renamed or moved from the first-run location? 1) c:\Test.exe --> save data 2) renaming c:\Test.exe in c:\Foo.exe 3) Foo.exe neds a new IsolatedStorageFile Tnx in advance Hi!
Nice post.

1) c:\Test.exe –> save data
2) renaming c:\Test.exe in c:\Foo.exe
3) Foo.exe neds a new IsolatedStorageFile

Tnx in advance
