FileSystemWatcher OnOpened event

In .Net how can I monitor if a file has been accessed (opened) by other programs? I can't see OnOpened event in FileSystemWatcher, so I assume it can not do that. Is there any other way to do it? It's clearly possible in Windows, is there some sort of hook available from .Net?

NotifyFilters enumeration has interesting you value: LastAccess indicating last file or directory access. This has to be set to the NotifyFilter property.

Check out the NotifyFilters property. You probably want to look for changes in access date/time.
