Event Handling ItemAdded and ItemUpdated

Question

Is it possible to prevent Sharepoint framework to call ItemUpdated event method, after ItemAdded? I want ItemUpdated to be called only when the item is edited. I don't want to let sharepoint call ItemUpdated after ItemAdded.

and/or

Is it possible to pass a parameter from ItamAdded to ItemUpdated event method?

Answer 1

For your first question, the answer is yes. If you are using SharePoint 2010, then you can use following code in the ItemAdded event to prevent ItemUpdated event being called:

    EventFiringEnabled = false;       
    //your code implementation       
    EventFiringEnabled = true;

If you are using MOSS 2007, you can use following code

   DisableEventFiring();
   //your code implementation
   EnableEventFiring();

For the second question, I don't think it is possible.
