How do I perform an action on a document in a library, before my Event Receiver is fired?

Question

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.

Answer 1

I think you can use ItemAdding event to update your fields. This works better for you instead of ItemAdded event.
