SPItemEventReceiver Bug

Normally when you inherit a class, and override any of the methods, you call the base method, just to be sure you do not interfere with the inner workings of the class. There is a bug however in the SPItemEventReceiver class that always changes the Status to Continue, even if I decided it should stop and cancel. TMHI this is simply a bug. Especially since the SPEventReceiverStatus.Continue enum value is 0 and thus the default value.

Conclusion

If you decide to Cancel the action do not call the base implementation.

SPItemEventReceiver2

 

Cheers,

Wes

When and if we should call the base method in an overload is always a bit nebulous.

In event receivers, I always call the base method as the first line in the method.

@AndrewSeven: You are totally right. In this case however they should have built this thing for extensability. I see no reason at all to revert any changed status to the default value again. But again, that is my humble opinion...
