I need to watch a shared a folder from WMI Event Watcher Task. When ever a new file created in a shared folder (Ex : \\Server\Folder), WMI Event Watcher Task should fire the event. I tried a local folder and it's running without any issue. However, when I tried a shared folder, it didn't work. It doesn't throw any message. But it doesn't fire the event, even a new file created in the shared folder.

I configured WMI connection as \\localhost to the server name with windows authentication and \root\cimv2 to namespace field.

Please guide me how to monitor a shared folder from WMI Event Watcher Task?Is it possible with WMI Event or not ?

Solution 2

use the below code

FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher()
                {
                    Path = FilePath,
                    Filter = "Refresh.txt"
                };
                watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
                watcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(watcher_Created);
                watcher.Changed += new FileSystemEventHandler(watcher_Changed);

The above File system watcher code watches the file in the specified folder is it right...?
What is "Refresh.txt" in the above code ?

Solution 1

WMI performs polling, which is always bad. You can consider the alternative: using System.IO.FileSystemWatcher:
