如果需要知道修改文件或目录的时间,可以通过FileSystemWatcher类,这个类提供了一下应用程序可以捕获的事件,应用程序可以对事件作出响应。
使用FileSystemWatcher非常简单,首先必须设置一些属性,指定监控的位置、内容以及引发应用程序要处理事件的时间,然后给FileSystemWatcher提供定制事件处理程序的地址。当事件发生时,FileSystemWatcher就调用这些属性,然后打开FileSystemWatcher,等待事件。
1、在启用FileSystemWatcher对象之前必须设置的属性:
2、设置了属性之后,必须为4个事件Changed、Created、Deleted、Renamed编写事件处理程序。
3、设置了属性和事件后,将EnableRaisingEvents属性设置为true,就可以开始监控工作了。
示例:
建立如下窗体:
