Question

Out of curiosity, is it possible to implement an interval at which the various events are raised when using the FileSystemWatcher?

Thanks!

Answer 1

There’s an overload of FileSystemWatcher.WaitForChanged that take a timeout:

A synchronous method that returns a structure that contains specific information on the change that occurred, given the type of change you want to monitor and the time (in milliseconds) to wait before timing out.

So if your event doesn’t happen before the timeout period you’ve set expires the event won’t get fired.

I don’t think there’s a method/property that sets the minimum time between events.
