I have an application that makes use of the FileSystemWatcher (FSW) class in a VB.NET windows application.<br />
<br />
.NET 2 is being used on an XP machine.<br />
<br />
The purpose of this application is to monitor certain directories with the FSW class and update a User Interface (UI) with the names of the files that are currently in that particular directory. I am currently using the ListView object on the UI to show the contents of the directory.<br />
A problem seems to arise when I add (or delete) a large number of files from a directory and the ListVeiw does not update correctly... &nbsp;i am guessing that some of the FSW events are not being raised but cannot be sure.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any suggestions that would make the ListView update in &quot;real-time&quot; when large numbers of files are deleted or added?<br />
<br />
Any help would be much appreciated.<br />
Thanks in advance

FileSystemWatcher Missing Events VB.NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
