Does .NET FileSystemWatcher work with Mono on Mac OS?

Question

Can I write a Microsoft .NET programm with a FileSystemWatcher and expect it to work under Mac OS X with Mono without changes?

Answer 1

Yes, it will work without changes. Mono includes a FileSystemWatcher for all platforms.

Keep in mind that your code might want to use Path.PathSeperator to be more compatible with the different ways directory names are formatted on different platforms.
