Re: [Boost-users] [boost.asio] issues with io_service.run

typedef boost::asio::io_service FolderMonitoringService;

I can pass this to a constructor requiring an io_service as follows:

boost::asio::dir_monitor dm(FolderMonitoringService);

You should pass an instance, not a type name.

however when I try to do:

               FolderMonitoringService.run();

You should call run() member-function on an instance, not on a type name.
