Custom Table Event Handler

Yang Wen asked on September 29, 2016 00:50

I've created event handlers on my custom table for the Update.Before and Update.After event types.

I need to compute a delta for the data update, so I need snapshots of the data before & after the update.

In the Update.Before event handler, the ObjectEventArgs object doesn't seem to contain the data that will be written to the DB. I see properties for standard fields like ItemGUID, ItemID, ItemModifiedWhen, etc. However none of my custom fields on the table are obviously accessible. Is there a method I need to call to retrieve values for a specific column (Keep in mind this is Before Update, so data has not been persisted into the DB yet).

Any help is appreciated.

With a before you can get both old and new values. Simply use something like:

string updatedValue = ValidationHelper.GetString(e.Object.GetValue("ColumnName"), ""); string originalValue = ValidationHelper.GetString(e.Object.GetOriginalValue("ColumnName"), "");

No need to use the UpdateAfter event handler if you're just looking to get those values.
