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;
}

简单地定义一个全局变量var1 = true。

Private Sub FileWatchman_Changed(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles FileWatchman.Changed
   If var1 = true 
       your logic goes here
       var1 = false
   Else
       var1 = true 
   End If
End Sub

以下是我的解决方案，帮助我阻止事件被提出两次:

watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.FileName | NotifyFilters.Size;

这里我只设置了文件名和大小的NotifyFilter属性。 watcher是FileSystemWatcher的对象。希望这能有所帮助。

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;
        }
    }
}

我改变了监视目录中的文件的方式。我没有使用FileSystemWatcher，而是在另一个线程上轮询位置，然后查看文件的LastWriteTime。

DateTime lastWriteTime = File.GetLastWriteTime(someFilePath);

使用这些信息并保持文件路径的索引和最近的写入时间，我可以确定在特定位置已更改或已创建的文件。这使我摆脱了FileSystemWatcher的奇怪之处。主要的缺点是您需要一个数据结构来存储LastWriteTime和对文件的引用，但是它是可靠且易于实现的。

这是另一种方法。现在，除了最后一个事件以外，所有事件都被抑制，而不是传播一系列事件中的第一个事件并抑制所有接下来的事件。我认为可以从这种方法中受益的场景更常见。

要做到这一点，我们必须使用滑动延迟。每个传入事件都会取消触发前一个事件的计时器，并重新启动计时器。这开启了一种可能性，即一系列永无止境的事件将永远推迟传播。为了简单起见，在下面的扩展方法中没有针对这种异常情况的规定。

public static class FileSystemWatcherExtensions
{
    public static IDisposable OnAnyEvent(this FileSystemWatcher source,
        WatcherChangeTypes changeTypes, FileSystemEventHandler handler, int delay)
    {
        var cancellations = new Dictionary<string, CancellationTokenSource>(
            StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
        var locker = new object();
        if (changeTypes.HasFlag(WatcherChangeTypes.Created))
            source.Created += FileSystemWatcher_Event;
        if (changeTypes.HasFlag(WatcherChangeTypes.Deleted))
            source.Deleted += FileSystemWatcher_Event;
        if (changeTypes.HasFlag(WatcherChangeTypes.Changed))
            source.Changed += FileSystemWatcher_Event;
        if (changeTypes.HasFlag(WatcherChangeTypes.Renamed))
            source.Renamed += FileSystemWatcher_Event;
        return new Disposable(() =>
        {
            source.Created -= FileSystemWatcher_Event;
            source.Deleted -= FileSystemWatcher_Event;
            source.Changed -= FileSystemWatcher_Event;
            source.Renamed -= FileSystemWatcher_Event;
        });

        async void FileSystemWatcher_Event(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
        {
            var key = e.FullPath;
            var cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
            lock (locker)
            {
                if (cancellations.TryGetValue(key, out var existing))
                {
                    existing.Cancel();
                }
                cancellations[key] = cts;
            }
            try
            {
                await Task.Delay(delay, cts.Token);
                // Omitting ConfigureAwait(false) is intentional here.
                // Continuing in the captured context is desirable.
            }
            catch (TaskCanceledException)
            {
                return;
            }
            lock (locker)
            {
                if (cancellations.TryGetValue(key, out var existing)
                    && existing == cts)
                {
                    cancellations.Remove(key);
                }
            }
            cts.Dispose();
            handler(sender, e);
        }
    }

    public static IDisposable OnAllEvents(this FileSystemWatcher source,
        FileSystemEventHandler handler, int delay)
        => OnAnyEvent(source, WatcherChangeTypes.All, handler, delay);

    public static IDisposable OnCreated(this FileSystemWatcher source,
        FileSystemEventHandler handler, int delay)
        => OnAnyEvent(source, WatcherChangeTypes.Created, handler, delay);

    public static IDisposable OnDeleted(this FileSystemWatcher source,
        FileSystemEventHandler handler, int delay)
        => OnAnyEvent(source, WatcherChangeTypes.Deleted, handler, delay);

    public static IDisposable OnChanged(this FileSystemWatcher source,
        FileSystemEventHandler handler, int delay)
        => OnAnyEvent(source, WatcherChangeTypes.Changed, handler, delay);

    public static IDisposable OnRenamed(this FileSystemWatcher source,
        FileSystemEventHandler handler, int delay)
        => OnAnyEvent(source, WatcherChangeTypes.Renamed, handler, delay);

    private struct Disposable : IDisposable
    {
        private readonly Action _action;
        internal Disposable(Action action) => _action = action;
        public void Dispose() => _action?.Invoke();
    }
}

使用的例子:

myWatcher.OnAnyEvent(WatcherChangeTypes.Created | WatcherChangeTypes.Changed,
    MyFileSystemWatcher_Event, 100);

这一行将两个事件(Created和Changed)的订阅组合在一起。所以它大致相当于这些:

myWatcher.Created += MyFileSystemWatcher_Event;
myWatcher.Changed += MyFileSystemWatcher_Event;

不同之处在于，这两个事件被视为单一类型的事件，在这些事件快速连续的情况下，只有最后一个事件将被传播。例如，如果一个Created事件后面跟着两个Changed事件，并且这三个事件之间的时间间隔不超过100 msec，则只有第二个Changed事件将通过调用MyFileSystemWatcher_Event处理程序来传播，而前一个事件将被丢弃。
