FileSystemWatcher.Filters - "Filters is not a member of FileSystemWatcher"

[IlyaRabyy]

Colleagues,
The subject line tells what the problem is. However, the picture worth 1,000 words, so - here it is:

... which contradicts the on-line VS Documentation (

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.filesystemwatcher.filters?view=net-8.0).

My project is based on .NET Framework 4.8. The "Filters" property appears in .NET 8 - which I do not have (well, obviously!)

What, aside from installing NET 8, can I do to have a list/collection of filters instead of just one?

AHWBGA!

Regards,

Ilya

But the doc you linked above states, that:
Gets the collection of all the filters ...
and you try not to get, but to set this property.

It doesn't. The documentation clearly shows that Filters is only available in .Net Core, not .Net Framework

And if you do switch to Core, Filters is read-only.

I presume you were hoping to be able to set multiple filters (e.g both *.txt and *.docx), but you do that through the Filters Add method, not by trying to directly set the Filters property
