Know if the delete process is finished 1

[ajikoe]

Hello

I would like to know when my deleting process finished.For example:

public static void Main(){
myDeleteMethod();
//NextMove...
}

public static void myDeleteMethod(){
//delete something
}

Question:
How can I assure that when it goes to the NextMove the deleting process are already finished (for example it is very big file).

Sincerely Yours,
Pujo

It depends on how your code is written, and when the garbage collector runs. So you'd have to start a loop, waiting for the file to disappear.

A solution could be to use FileSystemWatcher class to monitor the file you are deleting.
See the WaitForChanged() - a synchronous method that that contains specific information on the change that occurred.
On a FileSystemWatcher object call WaitForChanged(WatcherChangeTypes.Deleted) and also use OnDeleted event.
