Detecting a file opening

Question

Is it possible in the Windows environment to detect if a file is being opened with with .NET

I would like to place a handler on the file system to detect if a file or any file is being opened, is this possible?

Answer 1

The simplest solution would be to use a FileSystemWatcher and set the filter to NotifyFilters.LastAccess, which will tell it to watch for a change in the last access date/time.
