Event receiver

i have some doubts in event receivers.
when i do Itemadding or Itemadded, i frame like..
SPList oList = oWeb.Lists["Test"];
SPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true ;
 SPListItem oSPListItem = oList.Items.Add();
 oSPListItem["Title"] = "Hello SharePoint";
oSPListItem.Update();
oList.Update();
SPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
========================================================
when i do Itemupdating or Itemupdated..
SPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true ;
//i disable the event firing
oSPListItem.Update();
//i enable it again
oList.Update();
SPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
========================================================
when i do Itemdeleting or Itemdeleted..
SPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true ;
oSPListItem.Delete();
oList.Update();
SPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
========================================================
My doubts are
1) after updating an item , i am always updating the list oList.Update();
   Is it ok?
2) and while doing changes, which affects the content DB i am using SPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true ;
   Is it ok?
3)when i work on updating or updated event, i always disable the event before oSPListItem.Update();
   Is it ok?
4)when i delete an item, i am not updating the item, but i am updating the list
   Is it ok?

1) after updating an item , i am always updating the list oList.Update();
   Is it ok?-
I don't think you have to update the SPList item as you are updating just an item then SPListItem.Update should be sufficient to reflect the changes.
2) and while doing changes, which affects the content DB i am using SPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true ;
   Is it ok? -
Yes, this is Ok. But make sure you change it back to its original value once you are done everything in your code.
3)when i work on updating or updated event, i always disable the event before oSPListItem.Update();
   Is it ok?-
Yes, this is ok as if you do not disable the event firing then it will fire the updating/ update event as soon as you'll update the SPListItem through your code. Make
sure you will make the event firing enabled once you are done with your process in your code.
4)when i delete an item, i am not updating the item, but i am updating the list
   Is it ok?-
Yes, that is ok because when you are deleting an item from the list you are deleting an item from the item collection which is nothing but your SPList. So whenever you are deleting something you are updating the SPList which is nothing but the collection
of the items.
Let me know if you still have concerns.

  • How do I add web part in the event receiver after the site is provisioned in SP 2010?

    How do I add web part in the event receiver after the site is provisioned in SP 2010?

    You try the below steps:
    1. Use long operation to provision the site, so that it does not time out in process.
    2. After provisioning, you can add a page or add the web part directly to landing page of site.
    For each of the above steps you can find the sample code pieces.
    if you couldn't get that, let me know. I will share with you.

  • 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.

  • 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:

    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 advance

    May be you want to consider using the following code and see if it works for you.

  • 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

    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?
    Thanks

    Hi 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;

                        else szNewFileName = szUrl;

                            properties.ListItem["Title"] = szNewFileName;
                            properties.ListItem.Update();
                        spf.MoveTo(szUrl);

  • 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
    public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
    base.ItemAdded(properties);
    var wsm = new Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServicesManager(properties.Web);
    var wfss = wsm.GetWorkflowSubscriptionService();
    var subs = wfss.EnumerateSubscriptionsByList(properties.ListId);
    foreach (var sub in subs)
    if (sub.Name == "RequestAddedToListB")
    var userToken = properties.Web.EnsureUser(@"mydomain\wssworkflow").UserToken;
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite(properties.Site.ID, userToken))
    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
    var payload = new Dictionary<string, object>();
    payload.Add("itemId", properties.ListItemId);
    payload.Add("WorkflowStart", "StartWorkflow");
    var wfi = wsm.GetWorkflowInstanceService();
    wfi.StartWorkflowOnListItem(sub, properties.ListItemId, payload);
    break;

    This is the alternate code I had using SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges that didn't work. It gives the error 
    "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation"
    on the line
    var subs = wfss.EnumerateSubscriptionsByList(properties.ListId);
    Thank you.
     public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)

  • 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:

  • Conflict between Client object model and Item Updated Event Receiver in sharepoint 2010

    Hello All,
    As per my requirement I have a two custom list.
    Agent Details
    Port Name
    Agent Details contains Agent code, Port Name,  email, address and phone of Agent. Its possible that one Agent Code is connected with multiple Port Name.
    Basically what I am doing is I am getting port name connected with Agent code, using jquery and bind those values with check box(using javascript created dynamically) and bind all with Div tag.
    Now when my custom edit form of Agent list open up it shows me different port name binding with checkbox group.
    when user select the check box and click confirm button my clicent object model script will run and add this selected value into Port Name list. 
    After confirm one more button named Save will enable asking user to edit the email, phone or address value and when I click on save my Item updated event fires which update the values of the selected port name(These port name I am getting from port
    name list) to Agent Details custom list.
    Now when I am trying to update the values my event receiver fires or some times it got stuck(not firing). So could you please help me the possible alternative for this requirements.
    Can we user the Ecma Script(Client object model to preserve the value of selectec port) and Item updated event receiver on the same time?
    Is anything am doing wrong then please guide me.

    Hi,
    As I understand, when you updated values in the agent details list the Item updated event receiver got stuck sometimes.
    The item update event receiver will fire after the item has been saved, and the client object model script or the Ecma Script runs before the item is saved, so there is no conflict between the client object model script and item update event receiver.
    You could find out the reason about the item update event receiver gets stuck by debugging the event receiver.
    When you want to debug your event receivers, you have to attach to OWSTIMER.EXE and wait till they are executed. You can control this behavior using the Synchronization attribute. Also, if you’re looking for an easy way to debug an event receiver without
    having to manually attach a debugger to your code, you can use the System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch() method.
    The articles below are about how to debug in the event receiver in SharePoint 2010.

  • 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.

  • Call Custom Service from Event Receiver as Current User

    Hello,
    i bang my head on this problem for days now:
    My custom web service hosted in Sharepoint 2013 needs to know the logged on user name. I used to have a self-written impersonation in my service client before, but with switching to claims authentication this should be obsolete.
    So within my service i decode the user from
    IClaimsPrincipal icp = Thread.CurrentPrincipal as IClaimsPrincipal;
    IClaimsIdentity ci = (IClaimsIdentity)icp.Identity;
    String User = ci.ToString();
    This works well when i call the service from a custom aspx page.
    It utterly fails when i call the service from a List Item Event Receiver. The User always is the Application Pool Account.
    This is the Client code to open the Channel:
    private void SetChannelFactory(
    MyServiceApplicationProxy proxy,
    Uri address)
    if (null == proxy)
    throw new ArgumentNullException("proxy");
    if (null == address)
    throw new ArgumentNullException("address");
    // Check for a cached channel factory
    string endpointConfigurationName = GetEndpointConfigurationName(address);// Get the endpoint configuration name
    if ((null == s_ChannelFactory) || (endpointConfigurationName != m_EndpointConfigurationName))
    lock (s_ChannelFactoryLock)
    if ((null == s_ChannelFactory) || (endpointConfigurationName != m_EndpointConfigurationName))
    // Create a channel factory without specifying an endpoint address
    // so it can be cached and used for multiple endpoint addresses
    s_ChannelFactory = new ConfigurationChannelFactory<IMyServiceContract>(
    endpointConfigurationName, proxy.Configuration, null);
    // Configure the channel factory for claims-based authentication
    s_ChannelFactory.ConfigureCredentials(SPServiceAuthenticationMode.Claims);
    foreach (var operation in s_ChannelFactory.Endpoint.Contract.Operations)
    DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior behavior = operation.Behaviors.Find<DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior>() as DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior;
    if (behavior != null)
    behavior.MaxItemsInObjectGraph = 2147483647;
    // Store the current endpoint configuration name.
    m_EndpointConfigurationName = endpointConfigurationName;
    private IMyServiceContract GetChannel(
    MyServiceApplicationProxy proxy,
    Uri address)
    //Create Channelfactory
    SetChannelFactory(proxy, address);
    // Create a channel from the channel factory.
    return s_ChannelFactory.CreateChannelActingAsLoggedOnUser(new EndpointAddress(address));
    All research pointed out that "CreateChannelActingAsLoggedOnUser" would pass the current user (which is correctly identified within the event receiver!) to the service, but it doesn't work for my event receiver...
    Any advice on this would be great!
    With kind regards,
    Joachim

    You should be able to get the current user id from the SPListItemEventProperties object. From here you should be able to create a Claim. For example get the user by using
    user = SPWeb.Users.GetByID(properties.CurrentUserId)
    SPClaim claim = SPClaimProviderManager.CreateUserClaim(user.email, SPOriginalIssuerType.TrustedProvider, issuerIdentifier);

  • Event Receiver---ItemUpdating

    Hi all,
    I have some documents in document library with versioning ON. When i unpublish a document( in Source Library) i have to move that current version to other library(Destination Library). And i need to update a column (status) in Source as
    'Unpublished'. I am doing all this in ItemUpdating Event Receiver. Moving from source to dest library is working perfectly fine. But the issue is while updating that status column. Its updating that column I am getting error
    The URL 'Pages/Test.aspx' is invalid.  It may refer to a nonexistent file or folder, or refer to a valid file or folder that is not in the current Web.
    Below is the code am using
    SPListItem SourceItem = properties.List.GetItemById(item.ID);
    web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;                                     
     this.EventFiringEnabled = false;
     SourceItem.File.CheckOut();
     SourceItem.SystemUpdate(false);
     SourceItem.File.CheckIn("Unpublished Version");
    web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
     this.EventFiringEnabled = true;
    Please guide me. 
    Thanks in advance
    sam

    Hello,
    I think you are updating column prior to create item in library. If you have "status" column in Destination Library then make sure file is added before updating the status. If you have status column in same list then try with ItemUpdated event.

  • 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.

  • How to get column values on item added event receiver

    Hi,
    I have two columns in a document library and one is people or group column and the other one is choice column with check boxes.
    I want to know how to read column values on Item Added event receiver, so that I can create if statements based on those values.
    Thank you,
    AA.

    Hi AOK2013, 
    Have you had a look at this Microsoft tutorial: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg981880(v=office.14).aspx
    Essentially, you want to use the AfterProperties property to access the changed field value. 
    E.g. 
    var personvalue = properties.AfterProperties["YourPersonFieldName"]

  • 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.
