I'm working on a project i SharePoint 2010 where I have several under sites. each under site contain a list with news and I want to attach an Event Receiver to those lists.
The under sites and lists are created programmatically but I cannot attach the Event Receiver I have in my VS2010 Solution.
I've tried with this:
SPList list = new SPSite(siteURL).OpenWeb().Lists[listName];
SPEventReceiverDefinitionCollection eventReceivers = list.EventReceivers;
SPEventReceiverDefinition eventReceiver = eventReceivers.Add();
eventReceiver.Name = receiverName;
eventReceiver.Synchronization = SPEventReceiverSynchronization.Synchronous;
eventReceiver.Type = SPEventReceiverType.ItemAdded;
eventReceiver.SequenceNumber = sequenceNumber;
eventReceiver.Assembly = assemblyFullName;
eventReceiver.Class = assemblyClassName;
eventReceiver.Data = receiverData;
eventReceiver.Update();
But it does not work.
The error message is "Could not load file or assembly 'Projekt_Test1\, \, Version\=1.0.1777.23493\, Culture\=neutral\, PublicKeyToken\=49c7547d535382ab' or one of its dependencies. The given assembly name or codebase was invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131047)"
Thanks for help.
I end up creating a List Extension method for this:
public static void EnsureEventReceiver(this SPList list,IEnumerable<SPEventReceiverType> receiverTypes, Type eventHander, SPEventReceiverSynchronization synchronization, int sequenceNumber)
{
foreach (SPEventReceiverType spEventReceiverType in receiverTypes)
{
string name = list.Title + spEventReceiverType.ToString();
if (list.EventReceivers.Cast<SPEventReceiverDefinition>().All(i => i.Name != name))
{
SPEventReceiverDefinition eventReceiver = list.EventReceivers.Add();
eventReceiver.Name = name;
eventReceiver.Type = spEventReceiverType;
eventReceiver.Assembly = eventHander.Assembly.FullName;
eventReceiver.Class = eventHander.FullName;
eventReceiver.SequenceNumber = sequenceNumber;
eventReceiver.Synchronization = synchronization;
eventReceiver.Update();
}
}
}
Caveats, Limitations of this method:
You can use it like this:
list.EnsureEventReceiver(
new[] { SPEventReceiverType.ItemAdded, SPEventReceiverType.ItemUpdated },
typeof(NewsItemsHandler),
SPEventReceiverSynchronization.Synchronous,
10000);
I have never succeeded with this version of eventReceivers.Add()
you are using.
Here is a powershell framgent I'm using, it would be very similar in C#
$ev = $currentList.EventReceivers.Add([Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventReceiverType]::ItemAdded, $assemblyName, $className);
Couple of things to look at:
