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

I'm trying to detect when an excel file changes but am running into a problem that the changed event is not firing and as Im only concern with a single file setting the filter doesnt work. When I remove the filter and look at an event that is triggered the event argument name property looks to be a random generated name and not the specific filename which I know has changed.

So I'm not able to get a simple notification when a specific excel file changes.
