Creating Service To Monitor And Read Contents Of File From A

Question

Hi all,
am trying to create a service that will try to create a service that will monitor a folder. Whenever a new file gets created, I am trying to read the contents of new file and copy contents (with same file) at a new location.

The problem I am facing is that only first file that gets its name copied and a file created at a new location, but without any contents. The subsequent files do not get created at all.

My Services.cs looks like this:-

 

 

 

public partial class Service1 : ServiceBase

{

public Service1()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)

{

FileSystemWatcher Watcher = new FileSystemWatcher();

Watcher.Path = "C:\\logs\\BOR";

Watcher.IncludeSubdirectories = true;

Watcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(Watcher_Changed);

Watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;

}

private static void Watcher_Changed(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)

{

var CopyContents = new Thread(() => ThreadProcedure(e));

CopyContents.IsBackground = true;

CopyContents.Start();

}

private static void ThreadProcedure(FileSystemEventArgs e)

{

Thread.Sleep(10000);

int counter = 0;

string line;

// Read the file and display it line by line.

System.IO.StreamReader file =

new System.IO.StreamReader(e.FullPath);

string testfilepath = "C:\\Project Tests\\testfile\\" + e.Name;

File.Create(testfilepath);

var log = new StreamWriter(testfilepath);

while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)

{

log.WriteLine(line);

counter++;

}

log.Close();

file.Close();

}

protected override void OnStop()

{

}

}
