Is posible see the new change in a text file if the component threw a OnModified event?

For example:
Before: test.txt (Hello world )

After: test.txt (Hello world!!!!! )

I need detect this change (!!!!!)

thanks,

Is there a way to know who made the changes, deleted a file and created a new file?

Thanks,

Is there a way I could have a little example about using WorkQueue or Generic List, just to put me on the track ^^

Bill, The way I'm doing this is to put a file on a generic Queue if it isn't already on the queue. Here's an example:

 Private Sub OnCreated(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As FileSystemEventArgs)
        If Not WorkQueue.Contains(e.FullPath) Then
            WorkQueue.Enqueue(e.FullPath)
        End If
End Sub

J-Micharl,

The way I do this is to not use the controls collection at all. Instead I use a generic List of FileWatchers that I can create and remove as needed.

“File actions may raise multiple events so you will need to take precautions against processing the same file multiple times.”

Yes. Yes. Yes. ….but how?
