…if you want something done properly. Argh!
As I stated in an earlier post, I had the file monitoring working. Well, so I thought. After installing the computer that will be the one I’ll use to log all the data I discovered something that really ruined my day - networked drives does not support monitoring very well.
I am (read was) using a class named FileSystemMonitor that comes with the .NET platform. This class has the capability to monitor changes in the filesystem. Nothing in all the articles I’ve read about this class have suggested that it won’t work over a network - I’ve actually seen several examples that are supposed to work on a network drive.
After much testing I’ve come to the conclusion that this class won’t do what I need it to do. Sure, it works on the local file system just fine but networked drives is just a big black hole it seems. Very annoying.
So - I’m currently writing my own file monitor with support for networked drives.
