[...]I am very interested in the file monitor you have created. Would you mind sharing it as an advanced usage example of Asio?
Maybe I have misunderstood something, but it looks to me as if Asio contains an asynchronous event model that can be used for *any* type of event. Not just IO-based. Can you say that this is the case?
yes, this is true! There is not much documentation though to learn how to create services for Boost.Asio. I got some help from Christoph and tried to understand the code in Boost.Asio. I didn't want to create a file monitor originally but as it's a rather simple service it was a good test to see if I understood everything. :) As it is a rather simple service it might be a good reference implementation for others though. I uploaded the file monitor now to http://www.highscore.de/boost/file_monitor.zip The zip archive contains a README file where I wrote down everything I learned about Boost.Asio services and what might be helpful for others to know when they start to create their own services. Hope it helps, Boris
