Hi Friends,

I have written a component in .Net which indexes a custom file type having .dat extension. I found that when Google Desktop starts for the first time (or I manually do a reindex) then the indexing of these files takes place correctly (receives events through HandleFile().

But when I add a new file with a .dat extension it does not get indexed. I am not receiving any Notifications for the new File in HandleFile().

If this does not work fine then I will have to manually write a crawling engine too (as shown in the MSNMessenger example).

Please help...
