ItemAdding event not firing when submitting InfoPath form to form library

Question

I created an event receiver in Visual Studio to handle three events in a form library: ItemAdding, ItemUpdating, and ItemDeleting.

ItemUpdating and ItemDeleting work as expected when debugging, but ItemAdding does not seem to fire at all. I put a break point within the ItemAdding handler, but it is never reached.

Suggestions?

It's very hard to troubleshoot without see at least your Elements.xml — Per Jakobsen, Commented May 18, 2012 at 7:22

I would suggest running your code in the ItemAdded Event Handler instead.

Frankly it should hit the break if you are debugging, but perhaps you can just avoid the issue all together.

Thanks for the link. I added an ItemAdded event handler, but it does not seem to be firing either (break point is not hit).

Hrm.. at this point i would check (for the record) that when you select 'Event Receiver 1' or whatever your receiver is called in the Solution explorer, Handle ItemAdded/ItemAdding events are true, then if so i would try removing everything from the ItemAdding and ItemAdded events other than the base call and a break point, and if that doesn't go off, create a new project just for the ItemAdding event and see if you can get that to run. If NONE of those things gives you a result, call MS and get support :(

I created a separate ItemAdded project, and was able to hit the break point I set within it. I don't know why the old one won't work, but at least this new one does.

Please check that event receiver is attached or not, using following codeplex tool. http://speventreceiverman.codeplex.com/

Thanks for suggesting that tool. I ran it, and the three event handlers I've implemented all appear in red, so I guess that means they are attached? If not, how can I check whether they are attached?

Other way is log some activity in text file,ULS log or Application log for testing that receiver is getting called. Once done make sure to remove this logging functionality.

SharePoint Manager 2010 will show you exactly what is and is not attached to a list or library
