  • FileSystemWatcher in VisualStudio 12 or VS Express 13 - can you please

    From RalphCramden@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 13 17:45:04 2015
    The documentation states that I can use a FileSystemWatcher to monitor for changes in a network drive. My code sets the .Path property, then sets EnableRaisingEvents = True and .IncludeSubdirectories = True. I have tried a Path syntax of \\<server>\<folder>, and the FileSystemWatcher will not raise events. If I map \\<server> to a local drive letter and use <drive_letter>: \<folder>, the FileSystemWatcher still does not raise events. I have no problems
    at all watching a truly-local path such as CL\Windows. Any suggestions would be most welcomed! Thanks for caring...
