  OnGlobalFileChange Reply Contact Hi all. I wanted to write a native IIS7 module that listens to changes of any file within my Web site. So I tried out the GL_FILE_CHANGE notification as it is described in the MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms694109.aspx). Everything's fine so far. I do receive the OnGlobalPreBeginRequest notification. But I do not receive any OnGlobalFileChange notification. Maybe I misunderstood the whole thing, but I tried to edit a file within my Web site with the notepad, say "C:\inetpub\MyWebSite\default.html" and I expected to get that notification. But I didn't. Same thing with renaming and copying files. Could anyone help? Thanks, Simon
