Raises the System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.Created event.
[Visual Basic] Overridable Protected Sub OnCreated( _ ByVal e As FileSystemEventArgs _ ) [C#] protected virtual void OnCreated( FileSystemEventArgs e ); [C++] protected: virtual void OnCreated( FileSystemEventArgs* e ); [JScript] protected function OnCreated( e : FileSystemEventArgs );
OnCreated is called when a file or directory is created in the directory being monitored.
Some common occurrences, such as copying or moving a file or directory, do not correspond directly to an event, but these occurrences do cause events to be raised. When you copy a file or directory, the system raises an System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.Created event in the directory to which the file was copied, if that directory is being watched. If the directory from which you were copying was being watched by another instance of FileSystemWatcher, no event would be raised. For example, you create two instances of FileSystemWatcher. FileSystemWatcher1 is set to watch "c:\My Documents", and FileSystemWatcher2 is set to watch "c:\Your Documents". Now, if you copy a file from "My Documents" and paste it into "Your Documents", an System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.Created event will be raised in FileSystemWatcher2, but no event is raised for FileSystemWatcher1. Unlike copying, moving a file or directory would raise two events. From the previous example, if you moved a file from "My Documents" to "Your Documents", an System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.Created event would be raised in FileSystemWatcher2 and an System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.Deleted event would be raised in FileSystemWatcher1.
Raising an event invokes the event-handling method through a delegate. For more information, see TBD.
Notes to Inheritors: When overriding OnCreated in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnCreated method.
