| WaitForChanged(WatcherChangeTypes) |
A synchronous method that returns a structure that contains specific information on the change that occurred, given the type of change you want to monitor. |
| WaitForChanged(WatcherChangeTypes, Int32) |
A synchronous method that returns a structure that contains specific information on the change that occurred, given the type of change you want to monitor and the time (in milliseconds) to wait before timing out. |
| WaitForChanged(WatcherChangeTypes, TimeSpan) |
Synchronously returns a structure that contains specific information on the change that occurred, given the type of change to monitor. |

public:
System::IO::WaitForChangedResult WaitForChanged(System::IO::WatcherChangeTypes changeType);public System.IO.WaitForChangedResult WaitForChanged(System.IO.WatcherChangeTypes changeType);member this.WaitForChanged : System.IO.WatcherChangeTypes -> System.IO.WaitForChangedResultPublic Function WaitForChanged (changeType As WatcherChangeTypes) As WaitForChangedResultParameters
- changeType
- WatcherChangeTypes
The WatcherChangeTypes to watch for.
Returns
A WaitForChangedResult that contains specific information on the change that occurred.
Remarks
This method waits indefinitely until the first change occurs and then returns. This is the same as using WaitForChanged with the timeout parameter set to -1.
Note
This method allows an event handler to be invoked to respond to file changes even if the EnableRaisingEvents property is set to false.
In some systems, FileSystemWatcher reports changes to files using the short 8.3 file name format. For example, a change to "LongFileName.LongExtension" could be reported as "LongFi~.Lon".

The WatcherChangeTypes to watch for.
- timeout
- Int32
The time (in milliseconds) to wait before timing out.
Returns
A WaitForChangedResult that contains specific information on the change that occurred.
Remarks
This method waits until a change occurs or it has timed out. A value of -1 for the timeout parameter means wait indefinitely.
