Handling multiple Change Events in FileSystemWatcher

Question

I have the following sub:

  Private Sub Watcher_Changed(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As FileSystemEventArgs)
        If Path.GetExtension(e.Name) = \".         


        

Answer 1

we had a similar situation; however the system that wrote the file in batches used a temp name, and changed it to the "real" name when it was done. Can your ftp client do something similar? If it can, then you can check the new filename and check it by extension or a prefix; if its not the expected final filename format then you can ignore it.
