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;
}

我在这里有一个非常快速和简单的解决方法，它对我来说确实有效，无论事件偶尔会被触发一次或两次或多次，检查它:

private int fireCount = 0;
private void inputFileWatcher_Changed(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
    {
       fireCount++;
       if (fireCount == 1)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Fired only once!!");
            dowork();
        }
        else
        {
            fireCount = 0;
        }
    }
}

很抱歉挖了坟墓，但我已经与这个问题斗争了一段时间，终于想出了一种方法来处理这些多重发射事件。我想要感谢这篇文章中的每一个人，因为我在与这个问题作斗争时已经在许多参考文献中使用了它。

这是我的完整代码。它使用字典来跟踪文件最后一次写入的日期和时间。它比较该值，如果值相同，则抑制事件。然后在启动新线程后设置该值。

using System.Threading; // used for backgroundworker
using System.Diagnostics; // used for file information
private static IDictionary<string, string> fileModifiedTable = new Dictionary<string, string>(); // used to keep track of our changed events

private void fswFileWatch_Changed( object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e )
    {
        try
        {
           //check if we already have this value in our dictionary.
            if ( fileModifiedTable.TryGetValue( e.FullPath, out sEmpty ) )
            {              
                //compare timestamps      
                if ( fileModifiedTable[ e.FullPath ] != File.GetLastWriteTime( e.FullPath ).ToString() )
                {        
                    //lock the table                
                    lock ( fileModifiedTable )
                    {
                        //make sure our file is still valid
                        if ( File.Exists( e.FullPath ) )
                        {                               
                            // create a new background worker to do our task while the main thread stays awake. Also give it do work and work completed handlers
                            BackgroundWorker newThreadWork = new BackgroundWorker();
                            newThreadWork.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler( bgwNewThread_DoWork );
                            newThreadWork.RunWorkerCompleted += new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler( bgwNewThread_RunWorkerCompleted );

                            // capture the path
                            string eventFilePath = e.FullPath;
                            List<object> arguments = new List<object>();

                            // add arguments to pass to the background worker
                            arguments.Add( eventFilePath );
                            arguments.Add( newEvent.File_Modified );

                            // start the new thread with the arguments
                            newThreadWork.RunWorkerAsync( arguments );

                            fileModifiedTable[ e.FullPath ] = File.GetLastWriteTime( e.FullPath ).ToString(); //update the modified table with the new timestamp of the file.
                            FILE_MODIFIED_FLAG.WaitOne(); // wait for the modified thread to complete before firing the next thread in the event multiple threads are being worked on.
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        catch ( IOException IOExcept )
        {
            //catch any errors
            postError( IOExcept, "fswFileWatch_Changed" );
        }
    }

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。

主要原因是 第一个事件的最后一次访问时间是当前时间(文件写入或更改时间)。 第二个事件是文件最初的最后一次访问时间。 我在代码下解决。

        var lastRead = DateTime.MinValue;

        Watcher = new FileSystemWatcher(...)
        {
            NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.FileName | NotifyFilters.LastWrite,
            Filter = "*.dll",
            IncludeSubdirectories = false,
        };
        Watcher.Changed += (senderObject, ea) =>
        {
            var now = DateTime.Now;
            var lastWriteTime = File.GetLastWriteTime(ea.FullPath);

            if (now == lastWriteTime)
            {
                return;
            }

            if (lastWriteTime != lastRead)
            {
                // do something...
                lastRead = lastWriteTime;
            }
        };

        Watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;

解决方案实际上取决于用例。您是否在注意不更改的新文件，或每隔一段时间更改一次的文件或经常更改的文件?在我的情况下，它的变化不太频繁，我不想错过任何这些变化。

但是我也不想在写入过程尚未完成写入的地方发生更改事件。

在我的情况下，我注意到6 (6 !!)onchange事件写一个125字符的txt文件。

我的解决方案是民意调查和改变事件的混合，民意调查经常被消极地看待。正常轮询比较慢，比如每10秒一次，以防FileSystemWatcher (FSW)“错过”一个事件。轮询立即响应FSW更改事件。

关键是在FSW。更改事件时，轮询速度加快，例如每100毫秒，并等待直到文件稳定。因此我们有了“两阶段轮询”:阶段1比较慢，但在FSW文件更改事件时立即响应。第二阶段是快速的，等待一个稳定的文件。

如果FSW检测到多个文件更改，每个事件都会加速轮询循环，并有效地启动一个新的短等待周期。只有在轮询循环检测到上次写入时文件没有进一步的变化之后，它才假定文件是稳定的，并且您的代码可以处理更改后的文件。

我选择了10秒和100毫秒的超时，但是您的用例可能需要不同的超时值。

这里是轮询，其中AppConfig。fiIO是要注意的FileInfo:

private readonly EventWaitHandle ewhTimeout = new AutoResetEvent(false);

private void TwoPhasedPolling()
{
    bool WaitForChange = true; //false: wait until stable
    DateTime LastWriteTime = DateTime.MinValue;
    while (true)
    {
        // wait for next poll (timeout), or FSW event
        bool GotOne = ewhTimeout.WaitOne(WaitForChange ? 10 * 1000 : 100);
        if (GotOne)
        {
            // WaitOne interrupted: end of Phase1: FSW detected file change
            WaitForChange = false;
        }
        else
        {
            // WaitOne timed out: Phase2: check file write time for change
            if (AppConfig.fiIO.LastWriteTime > LastWriteTime)
            {
                LastWriteTime = AppConfig.fiIO.LastWriteTime;
            }
            else
            {
                // End of Phase2: file has changed and is stable
                WaitForChange = true;
                // action on changed file
                ... your code here ...
            }}}}

private void fileSystemWatcher1_Changed(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
    ewhTimeout.Set();
}

NB:是的，我也不喜欢}}}}，但它使列表更短，这样你就不必滚动了:-)
