Question

My C# application throws a System.IO.IOExcepton (The directory name is invalid) for the following code for implementing a filewatcher:

   public void OnChanged(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
   {
          DirectoryInfo dList = new DirectoryInfo(e.FullPath);
          FileInfo[] TxtFiles = dList.GetFiles("*.TXT");
   }

e.FullPath is “C:/Documents and Settings/Bi/Application Data/TestApp/Reports\\0MA01P62240_000005798__TRI__4947712701738551.TXT”.

If you notice it seems to append a “\\” to the path when it tracks the file. Any idea what the problem may be?

Answer 1

Does this give the same problem?

    FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(e.FullPath);
    DirectoryInfo di = fi.Directory;
    FileInfo[] TxtFiles = di.GetFiles("*.TXT");
