Examples

The following example demonstrates the FullPath property. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the FileSystemEventArgs class.

C#
//  This method is called when a file is created, changed, or deleted.
private static void OnChanged(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
    //  Show that a file has been created, changed, or deleted.
    WatcherChangeTypes wct = e.ChangeType;
    Console.WriteLine("File {0} {1}", e.FullPath, wct.ToString());
}

Remarks
