R – SharePoint list event receivers not firing when copying and pasting using explorer view

copy/pastesharepoint

Here's the deal, I have various event receivers registered to a document library:

ItemAdded
ItemAdding
ItemFileMoved
ItemUpdating

These event receivers work as expected in all cases, APART FROM copying and pasting into explorer view. It's worth noting that the event receivers do fire off when MOVING from explorer view into explorer view!

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to fix this?

Workaround:

Create a SharePoint Designer Workflow, attach it to your Doc Library.
Make it run when the item is changed or updated
Give it a simple step with the following Action (no conditions)
Update field in the Current Item
Select the "Title" field, set it to "Changed".

You are probably able to capture the events from your .NET logic now.

It requires WebDav to be enabled on the server part, and WebClient to be running at the client. WebClient is just a service, see this technet entry for specific information on how to start it.

If WebClient is already running, make sure the SharePoint site is added to the "Trusted Sites" in IE. In Vista SP1 and up, the WebClient has a private list of "Trusted Sites" in the registry.

R – Updating already-deployed SharePoint content types to handle additional item events

Did you call ctype.Update(true) after adding the EventReceiver? If you don't it won't be persisted . And don't use the List content type, use SPWeb.ContentTypes instead.

This code works for me:

var docCt = web.ContentTypes[new SPContentTypeId("0x0101003A3AF5E5C6B4479191B58E78A333B28D")];
//while(docCt.EventReceivers.Count > 0)
//  docCt.EventReceivers[docCt.EventReceivers.Count - 1].Delete();
docCt.EventReceivers.Add(SPEventReceiverType.ItemUpdated, "ASSEMBLYNAME, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5b857a999fb347e", "CLASSNAME");

docCt.Update(true);

The true parameter means it gets pushed down to all child ContentTypes as well. (i.e. to all lists using the content type).
