    <p>Background:</p> <p>I have a file monitoring service that watches for changes in the files on the local system using the <code>FileSystemWatcher</code> class and i am handling for events like <code>Created</code>,<code>Deleted</code>,<code>Renamed</code>. When these events are triggered,I would simply want to GET THE PROPERTIES OF THE FILE such as <code>FileName</code>,<code>FileSize</code>,<code>CreationTime</code>,<code>LastAccessTime</code>,<code>LastWriteTime</code> using the <code>FileSystemInfo</code> class.</p> <p>Problem:</p> <p>While this service is running, I am unable to uninstall some programs for example (Microsoft Security Essentials). I have a feeling that these service is HANGING ON TO THE RESOURCES of the files marked for deletion because I can only uninstall those programs if only this service is running. </p> <p>My Question is how can I <code>GET THE PROPERTIES OF THE FILE</code> (as specified above) in an <code>ALTERNATIVE</code> &amp; efficient way <code>without hanging on to the resources of the file</code> ?</p> <p>Here is my code using the <code>FileSystemInfo</code></p> <pre><code>public void OnCreate/OnRenamed(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e) { FileInfo file = new FileInfo(e.FullPath); String output = "&lt;Event&gt;&lt;TimeStamp&gt;" + currentTime + "&lt;/TimeStamp&gt;"; output += "&lt;Name&gt;" + action + "&lt;/Name&gt;"; output += "&lt;Properties&gt;&lt;FileName&gt;" + file.Name + "&lt;/FileName&gt;"; output += "&lt;FullPath&gt;" + file.FullName + "&lt;/FullPath&gt;"; output += "&lt;FileSize&gt;" + file.Length + "&lt;/FileSize&gt;"; output += "&lt;CreationTime&gt;" + String.Format("{0:yyyyMMdd-HHmmss.fff}", file.CreationTime) + "&lt;/CreationTime&gt;"; output += "&lt;LastAccess&gt;" + String.Format("{0:yyyyMMdd-HHmmss.fff}", file.LastAccessTime) + "&lt;/LastAccess&gt;"; output += "&lt;LastWriteTime&gt;" + String.Format("{0:yyyyMMdd-HHmmss.fff}", file.LastWriteTime = DateTime.Now) + "&lt;/LastWriteTime&gt;&lt;/Properties&gt;&lt;/Event&gt;"; } </code></pre> <p>Sincerely, Derek</p>

    1. COFire up Process Explorer and see if you _really_ are hanging on to the files. No point in wild goose chasing.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
