Definition

Occurs when a file or directory in the specified Path is changed.

public:
 event System::IO::FileSystemEventHandler ^ Changed;
public event System.IO.FileSystemEventHandler? Changed;
public event System.IO.FileSystemEventHandler Changed;
[System.IO.IODescription("FSW_Changed")]
public event System.IO.FileSystemEventHandler Changed;

[<System.IO.IODescription("FSW_Changed")>]
member this.Changed : System.IO.FileSystemEventHandler 
Public Custom Event Changed As FileSystemEventHandler 

Event Type

Examples

The following example uses the Changed event to display the file path to the console whenever the watched file is changed.

Remarks

The Changed event is raised when changes are made to the size, system attributes, last write time, last access time, or security permissions of a file or directory in the directory being monitored.

Note

Common file system operations might raise more than one event. For example, when a file is moved from one directory to another, several OnChanged and some OnCreated and OnDeleted events might be raised. Moving a file is a complex operation that consists of multiple simple operations, therefore raising multiple events. Likewise, some applications (for example, antivirus software) might cause additional file system events that are detected by FileSystemWatcher.

Use NotifyFilter to restrict the number of notifications raised when this event is handled.

Note

The Changed event is raised unexpectedly when a file is renamed, but is not raised when a directory is renamed. To watch for renaming, use the Renamed event.

Note

The order in which the Changed event is raised in relation to the other FileSystemWatcher events may change when the SynchronizingObject property is not null.
