how to get Filemon.exe type of data

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I am both a C/C++ and a C#.Net developer. I am currently working on a
C#.Net program that needs to monitor for changes in files. I am
finding that the System.IO.FileSystemWatcher simply does not do the
trick. There are two major issues:

1: Knowing when the file is REALLY closed so I can open it.
2: Knowing which process had it open so that I know to ignore the
changes or not.

It seems that filemon.exe is able to find out both of these things and
I am wondering how it finds it out. Am I going to have to write my
own driver? Never done that before, but I am open to new things. Is
there an easier way?

Some of the programs that are changes the monitored files do not
change the last modified attribute, so it seems the only 100% sure way
to CRC32 the files, am I correct or is there yet another way?

Thanks much!
