File Watcher Task Question

Hello All,

I've a question regarding the Konesans file watcher, how can the task return information about the found file, such as name, size ....

I've a basic simple package that watch a folder for a file that get created everyday, but sometimes the data get blocked from the vendor and the file created with ZERO bytes, that's why I need to watch for it.

Any help is appreciated
Thanks

The FileWatcher will warn you that a file has been created/modified/deleted but nothing else.

To know more details about the file, use the FileInfo class as shown in http://www.emoreau.com/Entries/Articles/2006/03/Folders-synchronization-using-the-SystemIO-namespace.aspx

Thank you for your quick reply, but i'm not a programmer, couldn't really understand how could I use the FileInfo class to get the file info into the E-mail.

The code for the simple program is listed here and it's written in VB.Net which is your specialty, perhaps if you give it a look you can help adding the e-mail feature with the file info into the application.

I have read the various comments and you seem to be looking for a complete application and not only hints on how to get it done. EE is not a "RentACoder" type of forum.

No the application is already working and done, all what I need to do is to add an e-mail notification with the file info, that's all

so I got around that by doing the file watcher task because that the only way I know how to do.
