Hi all,

I have implemented a filesystemwatcher to notify my app when a specific
file has changed.  I have a notifyfilter of LastWrite or Size.
However, just opening the file is triggering this.  Is there a way
around this since I only want to know when changes have been made ?

All I was saying is that just opening the file I am watching is
triggering a change event.  Here is the code:

    Private Sub SetWatcherData()

        watcher.Path = ValidateNetworkFileItemPath

        ' -- set notification for when the validation file is updated
        watcher.NotifyFilter = (NotifyFilters.LastWrite Or
NotifyFilters.Size)
        watcher.Filter = ValidateItemFileName

        ' Add event handlers.
        AddHandler watcher.Changed, AddressOf OnSerializedFileChanged

        ' Begin watching.
        watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = True

    End Sub

Private Sub OnSerializedFileChanged(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As
FileSystemEventArgs)
       MsgBox(e.ChangeType & " " & e.FullPath & " " & e.Name)
End Sub

By just opening the file specified in the variable
(ValidateItemFileName), the event is getting triggered.
