最近要用到FileSystemWatcher来监控某个目录中的文件是否发生改变，如果改变就执行相应的操作。但在开发过程中，发现FileSystemWatcher在文件创建或修改后，会触发多个Created或Changed事件，具体原因就是处理文件的过程中执行了多次文件系统操作，触发了多次事件。具体可以参看微软的关于FileSystemWatcher这方面的解释：Troubleshooting FileSystemWatcher Components ，另外我在网上发现 Consolidate Multiple FileSystemWatcher Events 关于这方面的解决办法，比较实用，方便快速引入到项目中。

You may encounter the following situations while working with the FileSystemWatcher component:

UNC Path Names Not Accepted on Windows NT 4.0 Computers

If you are working with a FileSystemWatcher component on a Windows NT version 4.0 computer and trying to set its path to monitor file system activity on a different Windows NT version 4.0 computer, you will not be able to specify a UNC-based path value in the Path property to point to the computer in question. You can only set UNC-based values when working on Windows 2000 computers.

Cannot Watch Windows 95 or Windows 98 Directories

If you set your FileSystemWatcher component to reference a directory on a Windows 95 or Windows 98 computer, you will receive an error about an invalid directory path when the project runs. When using FileSystemWatcher, you cannot watch directories on computers running Windows 95 or Windows 98.

Multiple Created Events Generated for a Single Action

You may notice in certain situations that a single creation event generates multiple Created events that are handled by your component. For example, if you use aFileSystemWatcher component to monitor the creation of new files in a directory, and then test it by using Notepad to create a file, you may see two Created events generated even though only a single file was created. This is because Notepad performs multiple file system actions during the writing process. Notepad writes to the disk in batches that create the content of the file and then the file attributes. Other applications may perform in the same manner. Because FileSystemWatcher monitors the operating system activities, all events that these applications fire will be picked up.

Note Notepad may also cause other interesting event generations. For example, if you use the ChangeEventFilter to specify that you want to watch only for attribute changes, and then you write to a file in the directory you are watching using Notepad, you will raise an event . This is because Notepad updates the Archived attribute for the file during this operation.

Unexpected Events Generated on Directories

Changing a file within a directory you are monitoring with a FileSystemWatcher component generates not only a Changed event on the file but also a similar event for the directory itself. This is because the directory maintains several types of information for each file it contains — the names and sizes of files, their modification dates, attributes, and so on. Whenever one of these attributes changes, a change is associated with the directory as well.

解决方案

The .NET framework provides a FileSystemWatcher class that can be used to monitor the file system for changes. My requirements were to monitor a directory for new files or changes to existing files. When a change occurs, the application needs to read the file and immediately perform some operation based on the contents of the file.

While doing some manual testing of my initial implementation it was very obvious that theFileSystemWatcher was firing multiple events whenever I made a change to a file or copied a file into the directory being monitored. I came across the following in the MSDNdocumentation’s Troubleshooting FileSystemWatcher Components

Multiple Created Events Generated for a Single Action

You may notice in certain situations that a single creation event generates multiple Created events that are handled by your component. For example, if you use a FileSystemWatcher component to monitor the creation of new files in a directory, and then test it by using Notepad to create a file, you may see two Created events generated even though only a single file was created. This is because Notepad performs multiple file system actions during the writing process. Notepad writes to the disk in batches that create the content of the file and then the file attributes. Other applications may perform in the same manner. Because FileSystemWatcher monitors the operating system activities, all events that these applications fire will be picked up.

Note: Notepad may also cause other interesting event generations. For example, if you use the ChangeEventFilter to specify that you want to watch only for attribute changes, and then you write to a file in the directory you are watching using Notepad, you will raise an event. This is because Notepad updates the Archived attribute for the file during this operation.

I did some searching and was surprised that .NET did not provide any kind of wrapper around the FileSystemWatcher to make it a bit more user friendly. I ended up writing my own wrapper that would monitor a directory and only throw one event when a new file was created, or an existing file was changed.

In order to consolidate the multiple FileSystemWatcher events down to a single event, I save the timestamp when each event is received, and I check back every so often (using a Timer) to find paths that have not caused additional events in a while. When one of these paths is ready, a single Changed event is fired. An additional benefit of this technique is that the event from the FileSystemWatcher is handled very quickly, which could help prevent its internal buffer from filling up.

Here is the code for a DirectoryMonitor class that consolidates multiple Win32 events into a single Change event for each change:
