Hi,

I am trying to make an application in C#, it should display all the details about a file access. For example,

I have a shared directory in a server say "K:\". and the user-1 , user-2 are accessed file-1 and file-2 in the specified directory. Then I want to get a log like

--------------------.
File opened.......
"K:\file-1" by user-1
---------------------.
File opened.......
"K:\file-2" by user-2

Is there is any option to do this using C#, I tried with "FileSystemWatcher", but there is no event like file opened and username of the accessed user.
Can anyone help me on this?
