Is there a way to set a credential for a filesystemwatcher object?
The application runs on a different user that doesnt have access to directory on network machine but i want to give credentials to filesystemwatcher object so it can listen that directory.
Is it doable?
No. Just make sure that your application runs under an account that has the correct privileges to access the resources you want to access.
