Problem with code for custom sharepoint actions.

[Vince]

I have some code attached to a list which on adding an item to a list will go off and create a document library for that item.

code for this is below:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;

namespace ListLibEventHandlerNew
{
    public class ListLibEventHandlerClass : SPItemEventReceiver
    {


        public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
        {



            base.ItemAdded(properties);
            try
            {
                base.DisableEventFiring();
                string listTitle = properties.AfterProperties["Title"].ToString();
                using (SPWeb web = properties.OpenWeb())
                {//add doc lib
                    Guid newListID = web.Lists.Add(listTitle, "", SPListTemplateType.DocumentLibrary);
                    //additional properties
                    SPList newList = web.Lists[newListID];
                    newList.OnQuickLaunch = false;
                    newList.EnableVersioning = true;
                    newList.EnableMinorVersions = true;
                    newList.ForceCheckout = true;
                    newList.Update();
                }

            }

            catch (Exception exception)
            {

            }
            finally
            {
               base.EnableEventFiring();
            }
        }


    }
}

I install this event handler to the library with a c# application code below:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;

namespace ListLinRegApp
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            SPSite sp = new SPSite("URL HERE");
            SPWeb website = sp.OpenWeb();
            SPList ListLib = website.Lists["CLIST NAME HERE"];
            //key token needs updating from the token in GAC.
            String custassembley = "ListLibEventHandlerNew, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c861ccb329f5f087";
            String classname = "ListLibEventHandlerNew.ListLibEventHandlerClass";
            ListLib.EventReceivers.Add(SPEventReceiverType.ItemAdded, custassembley, classname);
     
        }
    }
}

This all works great and has been for some time, however, recently I wanted to then add some more function to this and wanted to (once created) add some folders into the document library which was created when the item is added.

so I wrote the following code:

            SPSite _MySite = new SPSite("HOME URL");
            SPWeb _MyWeb = _MySite.OpenWeb();
            SPDocumentLibrary _MyDocLibrary = (SPDocumentLibrary)_MyWeb.Lists["DOC LIB NAME"];
            SPFolderCollection _MyFolders = _MyWeb.Folders;
            _MyFolders.Add("HOME URL/docs/" + "test" + "/");
            _MyDocLibrary.Update();

So straight away I thought great, what I will do is add this code after the doc library creation code in the first block, letting it run after the library is created and event firing is re-enabled... Still couldnt get it to work.

Now the weird bit, if I simply paste the code in at the end of my application to install my event handler I can get it to create a folder in any library. however this code is only run the once to install the event handler.

Could anybody point me in the right direction? The more I look at it the more confused I am getting, why cant I run the 3rd block of code after the event firing is re-enabled at the end of my event handler.

Cheers guys.

Hi mate, don't think you will get many answers on here as the SharePoint experience seems pretty slim. I'd suggest posting on some of the MSDN sharepoint forums. I work with SP myself a bit but not done much custom coding. Will ask some of the guys in work next week to see if they can help.

Hi mate,

It was worth a shot, I have spent a few hours on it so thought I would put some feelers out and park it for a while. It’s not something that requires sorting out straight away. It might even work another day with a fresh head and new approach.
