OpenNetCF: FileSystemWatcher on root directory

[Guest]

Hi All

Can I use FileSystemWatcher to monitor changes to the root directory of a memory card? I'm trying to detect insert/remove of memory card. Below is my snippet of code which does not seem to detect the event. Thanks in advance for your insights.

if (! IsFullFramework

string[] CFNames = StorageCard.GetStorageCardNames()
// IPaq has internal RAM card, first storage card is the external CF card
if (CFNames.Length < 2
MessageBox.Show("Please insert RAM Card", "Notice")

DirectoryInfo[] CFDirectoryList = StorageCard.GetStorageCards();
FileWatcher = new FileSystemWatcher(CFDirectoryList[0].FullName)
FileWatcher.Changed += new FileSystemEventHandler(fsw_Changed)
FileWatcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(fsw_Changed)
FileWatcher.Deleted += new FileSystemEventHandler(fsw_Changed)
FileWatcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true
FileWatcher.IncludeSubdirectories = true



private void fsw_Changed(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e

MessageBox.Show("Please insert RAM Card", "Notice")

Can I use FileSystemWatcher to monitor changes to the root directory of a
memory card?

I haven't tried this and don't know if this is going to work. Probably not.
Take a look at this article for ideas on how to handle of the
insertion/removal of the storage card
