SVsFileChangeEx Interface
Passed to GetService to return a reference to IVsFileChangeEx.
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.dll)
This service enables arbitrary components to register to be notified when a file is modified outside of the Environment, such as what happens when using an external text editor such as Brief.
Note |
|---|
The redirector on Windows 95 does not support file change notifications. This means that file change notifications are not supported when accessing files on a Windows 95 system over the network. |
Note |
|---|
Also, depending on the file system the granularity of the file timestamps can vary. For example, Windows FAT file system has a two-second timestamp granularity. To mitigate the problems of this granularity, the file change service also treats a change in the size of the file as an update to the file even if the timestamp has not changed. |
