[resolved]FileSystemWatcher problem?

I'm using FileSystemWatcher in an application. it monitors the files in a folder, then do some processing. I monitor FileCreate, Change, Rename, Delete event.

the problem is: when I copy some images to that folder, it fired the create event, but the file is not actually ready, so, when I load the file in the event handler, it failed.

how can deal with this correctly?


thanks

Capture the file name, add it to an array, Thread.Sleep a bit, process it. You could keep it in the array for a while longer if it still fails. You may also want to look at processing those files in separate threads which are invoked from a timer.

thanks for reply.

the problem is because the file size is big, when "created" triggered, the file is not actually ready yet.

need make sure the file is ready, then can process more.

thanks again.
