FileSystemWatcher Deleted Event

Occurs when a file or directory is deleted.

The following declaration shows the syntax for a method that handles the Deleted event.

[Visual Basic]
Private Sub FileSystemWatcherName_Deleted( _
   ByVal sender As Object, _
   ByVal e As FileSystemEventArgs _
)
[C#]
private void FileSystemWatcherName_Deleted(
   object sender,
   FileSystemEventArgs e
);
[C++]
private: void FileSystemWatcherName_Deleted(
   Object* sender,
   FileSystemEventArgs* e
);
[JScript]
private FileSystemWatcherName_Deleted(
   sender : Object,
   e : FileSystemEventArgs
);

Parameters

sender
The source of the event.
e
A FileSystemEventArgs that contains the event data. The following FileSystemEventArgs properties provide information specific to this event.
Property Description
ChangeType
Gets one of the WatcherChangeTypes values.
FullPath
Gets the fully qualifed path of the affected file or directory.
Name
Gets the name of the affected file or directory.

Remarks

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" into "Your Documents", an System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.Created event will be raised by 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 by FileSystemWatcher2 and an System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.Deleted event would be raised by FileSystemWatcher1.
