Just be sure to wrap the events for each in a try-catch as they will run on threads from the Thread Pool. If there is an exception during the processing of that event your service may stop running unexpectedly. You should also keep the processing in the FileSystemWatcher Event to a minimum, for instance, just add the file path to a queue and then have one of your timers or Background Worker process the queue.
