File system watcher ondeleting event

Question

ondeleting event in file system watcher

Answer 1

There is no "OnDeleting" in FileSystemWatcher.

The closest event provided is Deleted: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.filesystemwatcher.deleted.aspx 

This is fired when a file is deleted from within the file system.

Do you have a specific question regarding this event?

    }

    public Watcher(string Path, string Filter)
    {
        FileSystemWatcher FSW = new FileSystemWatcher(Path);

        FSW.Deleted += new FileSystemEventHandler(FSW_Changed);
        FSW.Renamed += new RenamedEventHandler(FSW_Renamed);

        if (Filter != null || Filter != "")
        {
            FSW.Filter = Filter;
        }
        FSW.IncludeSubdirectories = true;
        FSW.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
    }

    void FSW_Renamed(object sender, RenamedEventArgs e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Object - " + e.OldName + " was " + e.ChangeType.ToString().ToLower() +
                        " to " + e.Name + "\n");
    }

    void FSW_Changed(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
