恐怕这是FileSystemWatcher类的一个众所周知的错误/特性。这是来自类的文档:

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.

现在这段文本是关于Created事件的，但同样的事情也适用于其他文件事件。在一些应用程序中，您可能能够通过使用NotifyFilter属性来解决这个问题，但我的经验是，有时您还必须进行一些手动重复过滤(hacks)。

前段时间我书签了一个页面，里面有一些FileSystemWatcher技巧。你可能会想去看看。

我的场景是，我有一个虚拟机，其中有一个Linux服务器。我正在Windows主机上开发文件。当我在主机上的一个文件夹中更改某些内容时，我希望所有的更改都被上传，并通过Ftp同步到虚拟服务器上。这是我如何消除重复更改事件当我写入一个文件(这标志着包含文件要修改的文件夹):

private Hashtable fileWriteTime = new Hashtable();

private void fsw_sync_Changed(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
    string path = e.FullPath.ToString();
    string currentLastWriteTime = File.GetLastWriteTime( e.FullPath ).ToString();

    // if there is no path info stored yet
    // or stored path has different time of write then the one now is inspected
    if ( !fileWriteTime.ContainsKey(path) ||
         fileWriteTime[path].ToString() != currentLastWriteTime
    )
    {
        //then we do the main thing
        log( "A CHANGE has occured with " + path );

        //lastly we update the last write time in the hashtable
        fileWriteTime[path] = currentLastWriteTime;
    }
}

我主要创建一个哈希表来存储文件写时间信息。然后，如果哈希表有被修改的文件路径，并且它的时间值与当前通知的文件更改相同，那么我就知道它是事件的副本，并忽略它。

很多答案都令人震惊，真的。 这里有一些代码从我的XanderUI控件库修复这个问题。

private void OnChanged(object sender, FilesystemEventArgs e)
{
    if (FSWatcher.IncludeSubdirectories == true)
    {
        if (File.Exists(e.FullPath)) { DO YOUR FILE CHANGE STUFF HERE... }
    }
    else DO YOUR DIRECTORY CHANGE STUFF HERE...
}

In my case need to get the last line of a text file that is inserted by other application, as soon as insertion is done. Here is my solution. When the first event is raised, i disable the watcher from raising others, then i call the timer TimeElapsedEvent because when my handle function OnChanged is called i need the size of the text file, but the size at that time is not the actual size, it is the size of the file imediatelly before the insertion. So i wait for a while to proceed with the right file size.

private FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher();
...
watcher.Path = "E:\\data";
watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastWrite ;
watcher.Filter = "data.txt";
watcher.Changed += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;

...

private void OnChanged(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
   {
    System.Timers.Timer t = new System.Timers.Timer();
    try
    {
        watcher.Changed -= new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
        watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = false;

        t.Interval = 500;
        t.Elapsed += (sender, args) => t_Elapsed(sender, e);
        t.Start();
    }
    catch(Exception ex) {
        ;
    }
}

private void t_Elapsed(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e) 
   {
    ((System.Timers.Timer)sender).Stop();
       //.. Do you stuff HERE ..
     watcher.Changed += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
     watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
}

您可以尝试打开它进行写入，如果成功，则可以假设其他应用程序已经处理了该文件。

private void OnChanged(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        using (var fs = File.OpenWrite(e.FullPath))
        {
        }
        //do your stuff
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        //no write access, other app not done
    }
}

仅仅打开它以供写入似乎不会引发已更改的事件。所以应该是安全的。

我是这样处理双重创造问题的，忽略了第一个事件:

Private WithEvents fsw As New System.IO.FileSystemWatcher
Private complete As New List(Of String)

Private Sub fsw_Created(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles fsw.Created

    If Not complete.Contains(e.FullPath) Then
        complete.Add(e.FullPath)

    Else
        complete.Remove(e.FullPath)
        Dim th As New Threading.Thread(AddressOf hprocess)
        th.Start(e)

    End If

End Sub
