anyone use file watcher and would not process multiple files?

If so please tell me how you resolved this.

I can dump 3 or 5 in at same time but a chunk of 10 or so it stops working.
It has never failed on droping 1 file in the folder at a time.

we have increased our internal buffer per microsoft and did not work so thats ruled out.

thanks in advance

Never tried what you are saying as far as I can recall, but I never recall not being frustrated with the filewatcher either.

You may run into file watcher control problems when processing large files or many files or doing a lot of processing on these files. So for any one running into this problem go to the link below. It has an explaination and code example in C# which can of course be converted to .net
