I am having the same problem. Is there a better solution????: 

----
      I am trying to use the System.IO.FileSystemWatcher class
      to watch for new files in a directory. The problem I'm
      having is that it seems the 'oncreate' event fires before
      the new file is completely written. Therefore when I try
      to do anything with the file (such as copy the file to
      another directory) I get an error message along the lines
      of "The process cannot access the file because it is being
      used by another process." The only solution I've found is
      to catch this exception and just keep trying to process
      the file until the exception goes away. This solution
      isn't working well and it seems there has to be a better
      way to solve this problem. Has anyone found a better
      solution to this?
      Thanks in advance for any advice.

            I faced the exact same issue and made a workaround by
            trying to continually open the file with FileShare.None,
            and ignoring a particular exception. Once this succeeds I
            proceed further. The files I was dealing with could take
            several minutes to come in. Fortunately the app is not
            extremely performance intensive and I can do a
            Thread.Sleep for a minute and check back.
            I was wishing there was amore elegant way to deal wth
            this. Would like to find out.
