[Mono-list] FileSystemWatcher status

[Stefano Incontri]

I'm working on a local drive, but on Windows it works fine over network
shares too.
I noticed that sometimes the application blocks when setting the
EnableRaisingEvents to true.
Anyway since the application is a bit complex (it involves the
ServiceProcess.ServiceBase class too), I'm going to test
FileSystemWatcher writing the simplest code, and then growing it up.

Thanks, I'll let you know.
