msdn sample

[kyle11778]

i am trying to run some example code on msdn and i have an error, some one tell me what it means...

c:\users\kyle11778\desktop\samplefilewatchsolution\samplefilewatch\samplefilewatch.cpp(5) : fatal error C1190: managed targeted code requires a '/clr' option

//which points to:

#using <System.dll>

You are trying to compile a C++/CLI program with the C++ compiler
If you want to use C++/CLI ( which I remind you is a different language ) you need to enable the /clr option as the error message suggests

right... where do i do that?
i am using visual studio 2008 c++

start CLR project

CLR empty project or CLR Console Application? does it matter? do most of the examples on msdn written with the CLR projects or does it just depend on what you are doing?

thanks by the way... :)

i found the right one... :)

in the program:

public ref class Watcher
{
private:
   // Define the event handlers.
   static void OnChanged( Object^ /*source*/, FileSystemEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Specify what is done when a file is changed, created, or deleted.
      Console::WriteLine( "File: {0} {1}", e->FullPath, e->ChangeType );
   }

   static void OnRenamed( Object^ /*source*/, RenamedEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Specify what is done when a file is renamed.
      Console::WriteLine( "File: {0} renamed to {1}", e->OldFullPath, e->FullPath );
   }

public:

what do i put for line 5 "/*source*/"

so i got this to works after some time. now i was wondering why this doesn't respond to last accessed? creating and deleting works fine though.

any ideas? thanks

also(this may be the cause)... i opened a file-closed it-then viewed the properties and last access didn't change! using windows 7. anyone know why?
