File System Watcher..

[ansrikanth]

Hi all...
This is my first post in this forum ...Hope i will get a good sol for my prob..

well, I had developed a program which will monitors the files that are created, modified or deleted (Obviously using a filesystemwatcher) in a specifed directory and sends a message to the user.

It works very well when I use it with my local drives (C:\,D:\ or E:\..).

But when i use it in our " NOVELL NETWORK DRIVE " it was not working..

I didn't understand why it was behaving like that..when i google it .. some where i came to know that its because of the NOVELL File system. .

If it is because of that..then dont we have any work around 4 dat..

From what I see FSW only works with Windows-based local/network/remote filesystems. So you have to write your own watching class (record all files and their states on start, poll and analyze frequently for changes, raise notification about events)
