ItemUpdating event handler

[Kalmberg]

Hi all!

While the ItemUpdating event should fire before any data is comitted to the
database, the following event handler acts somewhat strange.

I'm trying to create a handler that, when a user overwrites an existing file
in a document library, will put the overwritten file in the recycle bin
before saving the new file:

public override void ItemUpdating(SPItemEventProperties properties)
{
RecycleFile(properties);
}

void RecycleFile(SPItemEventProperties properties)
{
SPWeb web = properties.OpenWeb(); // Open current web
SPFile file = web.GetFile(properties.AfterUrl); // Get existing
file

if (file.Exists) // If a file exits
{
file.Recycle(); // Recycle it!
}
}

After this code is run, the new file should be saved, but what happens is
that the existing file is deleted and the new file is newer saved. Can anyone
tell me why?

Thanks!
Kalmberg

If you delete the file, then ItemDeleted or ItemDeleting wan be used

I do not know, but have you tried calling DisableEventFiring at the
beginning of your RecycleFile function and EnableEventFiring at the end?

Just a thought.
