Event Receiver ItemAdded MS CRM 2011
Hi,
I'm playing with SharePoint 2010 and MS CRM 2011.
I developed simple event receiver on the document library which fire on ItemAdded and ItemAdding. Event receiver fire when I create folder inside SharePoint UI document
library and everything works fine.
Now, in MS CRM 2011 one of new feature is document management. MS CRM 2011 use SharePoint Foundation 2010 and create folder for each Account. In this case, when MS CRM
create folder in document library event receivers not fire.
Is there anybody who has some idea why?

That's a strange issue that I also encountered, but only on our server. When I installed it on client's test server, it worked!! On our server I solved it by chance. I tried to make it some other way so I implemented some easy workflow that changed the
item's title to the item's ID. When I did it I found out that ItemAdded event was fired and everything worked. I was also curious, what if remove this workflow now. Suprisingly everything works now!! :D

Can we update InfoPath field using Event Receiver ItemAdded method
Hi,
Can we update InfoPath browser enabled form field using Event Receiver ItemAdded method. Following is the code snippet I used to update the field but it's not updating the field.
Please help me on this issue.
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemAdded(properties);
try
//Turn off event firing so we don't end up with a conflict
base.EventFiringEnabled = false;
//Run the code elevated so we can rename our item
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(properties.Web.Site.ID))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb(properties.Web.ID))
//Grab a new copy of our list and listitem under the new security context
SPList list = web.Lists[properties.List.ID];
SPListItem item = list.Items.GetItemById(properties.ListItemId);
//Change name and title to match item ID
item.File.CheckOut();
string fieldInternalName = properties.List.Fields["Employee Name"].InternalName;
SPUser oUser = web.EnsureUser(Convert.ToString(item["Employee Entry"]).Substring(0, Convert.ToString(item["Employee Entry"]).Length - 2));
item[fieldInternalName] = oUser.Name;
item.Update();
item.File.CheckIn("Changed Employee Name");
catch (Exception ex)

finally
//Turn event firing back on

Srivignesh JWhen you published your infopath form, did you promote the field you are trying to update to a property, and allow updates (its one of the steps in publishing your form, where you pick which fields you want to show as fields in the list view)...
Otherwise, how about get the Item.SPFile object, open it as XML, find the field you want to update, and update it that way... -
Sharepoint 2013, event receiver to rename files not working
I coded an event receiver (ItemAdding) that renames for example a .txt file to a .text file (it does not matter the extensions, it is just an example). In my code what I do is to an SPFile.MoveTo operation. It works fine in SP2010 but when I execute
the same code in SP 2013, when the operation is done using IE I get the text "Sorry, something went wrong" and then "File Not Found".
In the logs this is what I see:
12/23/2013 15:48:49.16 w3wp.exe (0x17B0) 0x0AC8 SharePoint Foundation
General ai1wu Medium System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The system cannot find the file specified.

It's clear that the Sharepoint upload code tries to do things with the original name and it does not realize that it was renamed.
Can I do something from my event receiver code like using the AfterProperties to bypass this error?
ThanksHi Dennis,
The issue still persists. Here is the code:
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
try
OutputDebugStringA("Inside ItemAdded");
string szHttpUrl = properties.WebUrl + "/" + properties.AfterUrl;
SPWeb openedWeb = properties.Web.Site.OpenWeb(properties.Web.ID);
SPFile spf = openedWeb.GetFile(szHttpUrl);
EventFiringEnabled = false;
string szUrl = properties.AfterUrl;
szUrl = szUrl + ".renamed";
string szNewFileName;
if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') + 1);
else if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') + 1);
else szNewFileName = szUrl;
if (properties.ListItem != null)
properties.ListItem["Title"] = szNewFileName;
properties.ListItem.Update();
spf.MoveTo(szUrl);
EventFiringEnabled = true;
base.ItemAdded(properties);
OutputDebugStringA("Renaming to " + szUrl);
catch (System.Exception exception)
OutputDebugStringA("ItemAdded ERROR: " + exception.ToString()); -
How do I perform an action on a document in a library, before my Event Receiver is fired?
My scenario:
Currently when a document is uploaded into a document library, it gets its metadata from the document. But then there is a need to change the title property to satisfy a naming convention which basically concatenates a combination of the information in
other columns in the document library...right now, there is already a SP designer workflow that is doing this and updating the title field (this was done previously by someone else). Now I want to add an event receiver to the library which will change
the "name" property of the document. The name will be changed to match the title field (I think I already know how to do this part).
Here is my problem...if I create an Event Receiver (ItemAdded), my code will not work cause the workflow needs to fire and complete its task before my code can grab the value from the title and copy it into the name. So my question is this....is there
a way in SP that i can maybe write custom code to address the entire scenario? If so, how do I do this? I read somewhere that I cannot or should not combine a workflow and an Event Receiver...I really appreciate it if I can be pointed in the right direction.I think you can use ItemAdding event to update your fields. This works better for you instead of ItemAdded event.

Sharepoint 2013 ItemAdded event receiver for renaming files is not working
In SP 2013 I coded an event receiver that intercepts the ItemAdded event and it just renames the file.
It is a synchronous event (I added <Synchronization>Synchronous</Synchronization> in the Elements.xml).
This is the code:
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
try
OutputDebugStringA("Inside ItemAdded");
string szHttpUrl = properties.WebUrl + "/" + properties.AfterUrl;
SPWeb openedWeb = properties.Web.Site.OpenWeb(properties.Web.ID);
SPFile spf = openedWeb.GetFile(szHttpUrl);
EventFiringEnabled = false;
string szUrl = properties.AfterUrl;
szUrl = szUrl + ".renamed";
string szNewFileName;
if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') + 1);
else if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') + 1);
else szNewFileName = szUrl;
if (properties.ListItem != null)
properties.ListItem["Title"] = szNewFileName;
properties.ListItem.Update();
spf.MoveTo(szUrl);
EventFiringEnabled = true;
base.ItemAdded(properties);
OutputDebugStringA("Renaming to " + szUrl);
catch (System.Exception exception)
OutputDebugStringA("ItemAdded ERROR: " + exception.ToString());
The problem is that when I upload a .txt file using Internet Explorer, just after the renaming is done, IE says that something went wrong and when I inspect the log files I see:
SPRequest.GetFileAndFolderProperties: UserPrincipalName=i:0).w|s-1-5-21-4050800873-4278272723-3073177257-500, AppPrincipalName= ,bstrUrl=http://sp2013/sites/demo/subsite1 ,bstrStartUrl=Shared Documents/test2.txt ,ListDocsFlags=16400 ,bThrowException=True 0fa7689c-674b-5045-c3a2-b214a5d4cbed

So it is clear that the fact that I renamed the file is causing an issue in the SharePoint upload logic.
As a solution what I did was to not declare it as Synchronous, but if I do it then there is another error when Sharepoint shows the Edit Properties dialog... in this case the upload is OK but when it is time to show that Edit Property dialog IE fails and
says that the file has been already modified, or that "something went wrong".
If I use a synchronous event I get one problem. If I use the asynchronous event I get another problem... It's very frustating and I am pretty sure that a so important API like Event Receivers should have support renaming files so I hope someone can tell
me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advanceMay be you want to consider using the following code and see if it works for you.

Calendar - How can I expand the recurrences of a recurring item in ItemAdding event receiver?
When a user add a new recurrence event to a calendar I want to check if any of the recurrences overlap with events already in the calendar.
I saw the property Recurrences Data and its XML but I didn't find a way to translate that value to dates I can test against the events dates on the calendar.
So, is there a way to expand the recurrences of an event in the ItemAdding event receiver of a calendar?Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to check if there any overlapped recurring events in Event Receiver.
You can build the query with <DateRangesOverlap> to return the recurring events with Server Object Model.
A code demo in the thread below about how to get recurring events from Calendar for your reference:

Publishing CRM 2011 on Web Applicaiton Proxy Using Kerberos Constrained Delegation
Hello,
Couldn't find a sub category that seemed suitable for this discussion so I just dropped it in Windows Server 2012 General.
So to summarize...
Web Application Proxy (WAP) on 2012r2, ADFS on 2012r2, and CRM 2011 RU11 is on 2008r2.
WAP has a pass through rule setup for the ADFS site and a preauth rule setup for the CRM site. All SPNs and delegation are setup in AD.
Setup is 1 WAP, 1 NIC, 1 ADFS server and 1 CRM server.
I have successfully publish my CRM 2011 site on Web application proxy and am successfully doing Kerberos Constrained Delegation. I am also doing Client certificate authentication on the ADFS server which works fine. I am doing this over 49443
just fine.
Try to access the CRM site, WAP redirects me to ADFS as expect, Client certificate auth happens at the ADFS server, I am redirected back to my CRM site with my authToken so pre authentication can happen successfully. KCD ensues after just fine
and i am reverse proxied back to the CRM site.
Here in lies the problem though...
When i am reversed proxied back to the CRM site, i receive the standard "An error has occurred Try this action again.... yada yada yada" message with the Try Again or Close button. If i click try again, i am able to access the site with no
problem and the solution works great! This obviously is not acceptable though.
The error URL looks like the following (changed it for obvious reasons)
https://crmsite.contoso.com/ORG1/_common/error/errorhandler.aspx?BackUri=https%3a%2f%2fadfs.contoso.com%2fadfs%2fls%3fversion%3d1.0%26action%3dsignin%26realm%3durn%253AAppProxy%253Acom%26appRealm%3d63ce68f1-3de4-e411-9412-005056a67a8d%26returnUrl%3dhttps%253A%252F%252Fcrmsite.contoso.com%252F%26client-request-id%3d4A1A0958-76F3-0000-5D91-1C4AF376D001&ErrorCode=&Parm0=%0d%0a%0d%0aError%20Details%3a%20An%20unhandled%20exception%20occurred%20during%20the%20execution%20of%20the%20current%20web%20request.%20Please%20review%20the%20stack%20trace%20for%20more%20information%20about%20the%20error%20and%20where%20it%20originated%20in%20the%20code.&RequestUri=%2fdefault.aspx
The error that correlates to this in CRM is
Event code: 3005
Event message: An unhandled exception has occurred.
Little bit further down
Exception information:
Exception type: InvalidOperationException
Exception message: CRM Parameter Filter - Invalid parameter 'AuthMethod=CertificateAuthentication' in Request.Form on page /default.aspx
If anybody has any insight or experience publishing CRM on WAP using KCD and has run into this issue, help would be greatly appreciated.
Also to head of this question, we can not do an IFD setup. There is a custom developed solution which resides on top of the CRM installation that is not claims friendly.
Thanks!

Cannot access Dynamics XRM from within Event Receiver
Hello everyone
I'm struggling with an issue here and I would like to hear some advice from you. The problem is the following:
I need to do something on Dynamics CRM whenever a document is uploaded to a specific location in SharePoint. I'm using an Event receiver for this purpose and connecting to CRM via the IOrganizationService, like this:
IOrganizationService service = new OrganizationServiceProxy(serviceUri, null, credentials, null); //service uri is https//serviceUri is something like "https://crmserver/organization/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc"
But for some reason I'm unable to execute that line successfully (looks like it times out) from within the Event receiver. However, the same exact piece of code works perfectly fine if executed from a separate console application (i.e., outside the IIS application
pool) running on the same SharePoint server...I'm confused, do I need to configure anything else on the SharePoint application pool so it let's me access the XRM service?
More info:
- It's not credentials issue, even provinding hardcoded it doesn't work
- Both SharePoint 2013 and Dynamics CRM 2013 are on premises.
- Integration between SharePoint and Dynamics CRM is done through the CRM List Component, over https, and it's working fine.This is not really important for this but it's just to tell that both servers can comunicate over https.
I would really like to get some advice on this. Thank you in advance.
RegardsHi,
Per my understanding, there is an issue when trying to access Dynamic CRM in an Event Receiver.
As you said, the same code works in a Console Application, it means the code should be OK. To narrow down the issue, I suggest you do as follows:
1. Please debug this Event Receiver in Visual Studio to see if the Event Receiver is working, what’s more, it will give you more information about how the code works
or if there is any exception thrown during debugging;
2. Is it a Sandboxed solution? Sometimes
the limitation of a Sandboxed solution would interrupt the code execution, you can try to change it to “Farm” solution and make another test;
3. If the above steps not work for you, please trace the requests using Fiddler when the Event Receiver running, more details there would help you easier to find out
the root cause of this issue.
Thanks

SharePoint 2013 event receiver error
I am currently working on a SharePoint online project. I am facing a strange issue. My code generates 6 documents
in 6 different document libraries along with other metadata. When I save data to a List, the event receiver fires and creates all the 6 documents. But sometimes it stops creating the 6 documents and left with 1 or 2 documents. Sometimes documents has been
created but without any metadata. The same code is working fine in my on-premises environment, but it sometimes breaks in the Office 365 environment. I also created a log list to track the issue as we cannot debug in Office 365. In the log list I found a error
message saying "Thread was being aborted." Below is my code. please help it is happening only in Office 365 environment.

SharePoint online 2013 event receiver error
I am currently working on a SharePoint online project. My code generates 6 documents in 6 different document libraries along with other metadata. When I save data to a List, the event receiver fires and creates all the 6 documents. But sometimes it stops creating
the 6 documents and left with 1 or 2 documents. Sometimes documents has been created but without any metadata.
The same code is working fine in my on-premises environment, but it sometimes breaks in the Office 365 environment. I also created a log list to track the issue as we cannot debug in Office 365. In the log list I found a error message saying "Thread was
being aborted." Below is my code. please help it is happening only in Office 365 environment.

Can't start a 2013 Workflow in an Event Receiver
I am trying to run a SP2013 workflow from an Event Receiver but I get the error "The request was aborted: The request was canceled. Client ActivityId: aec2fc1b-3f33-44d8-85ab-c6c976617b8c" at the point I actually attempt to start the Workflow.
The scenario is as follows. I have 2 lists: List A and List B. Users have permissions to create items in List A but not List B. When users create a new item in List A, a SP2013 workflow runs which then creates a new item in List B. List B should then
run another SP2103 Workflow but because of how SP and workflows work, this second workflow on List B doesn't automatically run. Thus I have created an Item Added Event Receiver on List B that will run the required workflow automatically (at least it should
if it worked!)
I'm sure the problem must be something to do with permissions but nothing I try seems to solve it:
I can't just use the account of the user triggering the event as this user will be the person adding items to List A and they don't have permissions to do anything in List B (thus they cannot see items in list B or start workflows)
I can't run using RunWithElevatedPrivileges as a) I don't think this works well with Event Receivers and b) SP2103 workflows cannot be run using the admin account.
I have tried impersonation with an account specifically set up for running workflows (named mydomain\wssworkflow). This account has full control of the entire site, lists etc. but it still gives the error mentioned above. My code is shown below - the error
occurs on the line:
wfi.StartWorkflowOnListItem(sub, properties.ListItemId, payload);
Any help in working out why this isn't working would be appreciated.
Thank you,
-Stephen

Attaching remote event receiver to a list on host web.
We have an O365 Sharepoint 2013 site. I am trying to create a remote event receiver and attach it to a list on host web instead of appweb. Below are the links that I am referencing to do it:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/636058/Adventures-with-SharePoint-2013-Remote-Event-Recei
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/knewton/archive/2012/12/11/defining-content-in-host-web-from-an-app-for-sharepoint.aspx
They are using 'AppInstalled' event to accomplish this. The method is as follows: get the client context of the host web, get our target list in the host web, get the service url of the remote event receiver using code below:
string remoteUrl = string.Format("https://{0}/OurRemoteEventReceiver.svc",
OperationContext.Current.Channel.LocalAddress.Uri.DnsSafeHost + "/services");
and then use it while adding an event receiver to our target list. A different way of obtaining this remoteUrl is shown in the second post.
When I try to do this I get the below error:
CorrelationId: eb837c4c-c434-4067-99f4-ad9b38e30d82
3> ErrorDetail: The remote event receiver callout failed.
3> ErrorType: Transient
3> ErrorTypeName: Intermittent
3> ExceptionMessage: The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from
the <serviceDebug> configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs.
3> Source: Common
3> SourceName: Common App Deployment
Also, the 'Grant permissions to the App' window appears when I hit Deploy and immediately goes away before I hit or even see the 'Trust it' button. Then, after a while I get the above error in output window. This happens whenever I add the 'AppEventReceiver.svc'
by selecting 'AppInstalled' property to True and then write any code(or even not write any code) in it that targets the host web. Any suggestions please?Hi,
We can add the code snippet below in the "App Installed" event handler.
EventReceiverDefinitionCreationInformation eventReceiver = new EventReceiverDefinitionCreationInformation();
eventReceiver.EventType = EventReceiverType.ItemAdding;
eventReceiver.ReceiverAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().FullName;
eventReceiver.ReceiverClass = "OurRemoteEventReceiver";
eventReceiver.ReceiverName = "OurRemoteEventReceiver";
eventReceiver.ReceiverUrl = "http://xxx/OurRemoteEventReceiver.svc";
eventReceiver.SequenceNumber = 1000;
Web web = SPutil.getSP("http://sub.domain.com/sites/apps");
List targetList = web.Lists.GetByTitle("Host Web List");
targetList.EventReceivers.Add(eventReceiver);
web.Context.ExecuteQuery();
You will need to include an additional .NET class as well:
using System.Reflection;
If the problem still existed, I suggest to debug your remote event receiver project to find the cause of the error. The link below for your reference:

Getting the correct userid in a afterproperties in a item event receiver
HI,
am writing a custom item event receiver and i am trying to read from a user/group column. and when i am using afterproperties to get the getitembyid() for a user, am getting different values on different times.
yesterday when i accessed the same, i am getting the correct user id i mean if its "in\john.mith " am getting the values john.smith.
but today when i debugged, i am not getting the john.smith value instead it pulled the fully qualified value - i eman - along with authentication - i:#w0/.....kind of.
its strange that sometiems its working fine and sometimes the same code behaves in a different way.
can ansyone please provide any hint what exactly going on and how can i get a correct id when i use afterproperties.
help is appreciated!Hi,
According to your description, the value of the User field in the AfterProperties not always the same.
As you said, the value got changed today when you debug your event receiver, is there any change in your environment recently?
A possible reason might be that the authentication method has been changed.
There is a test in Naim’s blog about the different value of User filed in an Event Receiver when in different authentication mode:
http://naimmurati.wordpress.com/2014/07/25/user-field-in-event-receivers-when-using-claims-based-authentication-and-classic-mode-authentication/
How to determine the Authentication mode of a web application:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psssql/archive/2011/02/22/sharepoint-adventures-how-to-identify-if-you-are-using-claims-authentication.aspx
Thus, a possible workaround to get the user name from a User field is that you can use
properties.ListItem["UserField"] which will return same result whatever the authentication mode would be.

How to get the original query string in an event receiver when dialogs are enabled
I have scenario where I am adding a document to a document library which has an external data column on it. My goal for this column is to have it automatically populated with an appropriate value based on original query string to the page. The general
idea is that I am on a custom page that has various webparts on it including a view of my document library that is context sensative based on the query string, and I want to use that context sensitivity not just to filter the list but also when adding documents.
I have been searching around for solutions to this problem all day and have gotten this far:
I have an event receiver attached to my document library that handles the ItemAdded event syncronously (as such I have the new list item available to me). In that event receiver I am able to set the column values as required. Where I am stuck is on getting
the value from the query string that I need to actually set as the column value.
Based on:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010programming/thread/8cfcb299-9a55-4139-86ec-0b53b2922a54 and several similar articles/posts I have been able to get the original source Url with the query string I want via the following
code in my event receiver:
private HttpContext context;
public EventReceiver1()
context = HttpContext.Current;
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
var originalQueryString = context.Request.QueryString["Source"];
// Parse the query string and use the value ...
The problem is that this solution breaks down if the dialogs are turned on under the advanced settings for the list. The reason the solution fails is because the "Source" query string parameter goes away and is replaced by "IsDlg" set to a value of "1".
Does anyone know how to get past this hurdle? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Hi Stuart,
The reason I'm looking for "Source" in the query string is because that is something I found to be reliable when the Dialogs are turned off. I've dug around pretty deep in the Request object to see if anything had the data I was looking for and unfortunately
it doesn't appear to be there. The
context.Request.QUeryString.ToString()
returns a rather simple one of:
List=%7b43ECDCB0-8440-4652-B067-AA20481779D7%7d&RootFolder=&IsDlg=1
and the
context.Request.UrlReferrer.Query.ToString()
has the same value.
I suspect this is due to the dual step process that takes place in adding an item to a document library where the first modal popup (which I suspect likely has the information I need) gives you the opportunity to browse to your file and then the second
dialog (maybe this is getting brought up as a result of another request which is now referring back to the original request that brought up the first dialog?) where you edit your properties.
Thanks for the try though, if you've got anything else I'd love to hear it.
Maybe you are looking for
