FileSystemWatcher Changed event is raised twice

Question

I have an application where I am looking for a text file and if there are any changes made to the file I am using the OnChanged eventhandler to handle the event

Answer 1

I approached the double create issue like this, which ignores the first event:

Private WithEvents fsw As New System.IO.FileSystemWatcher
Private complete As New List(Of String)

Private Sub fsw_Created(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles fsw.Created

    If Not complete.Contains(e.FullPath) Then
        complete.Add(e.FullPath)

    Else
        complete.Remove(e.FullPath)
        Dim th As New Threading.Thread(AddressOf hprocess)
        th.Start(e)

    End If

End Sub
