Does anyone know how to determine the userid of the user invoking the events.
I have seen other post, but no solutions. Any help with this would be much
appreciated.
 
No, it is not possible to find the triggering user.
This whole FileSystemWatcher class is wrapper around Win32 APIs for file
change notifications. And its the limitation of those APIs.
To figure out who triggered change notifications, you need to delve into
dark woorld of kernel mode and file system filters.
We specialize in this area...
