I'm testing the DocIntegrityPolicy example found in ECM toolkit. It provides an example of implementing a custom information management policy. When new items are added to a document library, the ItemAdded event set the value of a certain property to a MH5 hash value of the file in order to ensure integrity of the file. So far so good.
Unfortunately, this behavior introduces a problem in SharePoint. Modifying the content during the upload process results in an error: "The file
Please also refer to this blog for a similar example.
The sequence of events is outlined below:
| 1. Pick the document for upload |
 |
| 2. Enter document properties |
 |
| 3. Error reported |
 |
The good news is the the document is uploaded just fine - with all properties (including the ones added in ItemAdded) set as expected. But why the error?
To make things even more compliacated it turns out that the modification of the list itself during event registration (i.e. adding the new field to the list) raises another issue with the error: "The object has been updated by another user since it was last fetched".

Hi, I'm struggling with the same error. The error seems to appears if your item.Update() is executed after the upload mask is loaded by SharePoint. Also item.SystemUpdate() didn't help for me.
If I refresh the upload mask after some seconds before I proceed I don't get the error. Please let me know you have any news.
Did you read my conclusion? The reason for the issue I had was the fact that IIS changes the security context when invoking a web service. Look into what type of things are are doing ***before** you invoke Item.Update()
I'm having a similar problem. The code sample is pasted below. Basically, if I try to modify the value of a column in the ListItem and call .Update() while in the context of ItemAdded I get file has been modified error. If I comment out the Update it works every time (but obviously that doesn't help me). I'm not doing anything special to this List. Thanks!

Hi Ryan,
I would look into potential security issues of your code. First of all - the event handler runs in the context of which user? Does this user have proper rights to create new lists and add items to the list?
Further - I would invoke :
this.DisableEventFiring();
Item.SystemUpdate(false);
this.EnableEventFiring();
rather than
Item.Update();
Good look - and please let me know if it works or not.
I tried all the stuff you mentioned. But no luck. I am getting that error that the file has been modified. I have been trying for more than a month to figure this out. I can only see putting a 2 minute delay in the ItemAdded works if the user click ok with in 2 minutes of upload. But delay increases number of sleeping threads and kills the prod environment. Is there a solution for this error at all other than putting a delay?
If anyone is still having problems with that I can confirm that this worked for me:
DisableEventFiring();
Item.SystemUpdate(false);
EnableEventFiring();
thanks Morten
I think there is much more to it than just the code you suggested. But in principle the stuff should work.
But - often ItemAdded is invoked without an item. This can happen in several situations, e.g. Copy-paste operation. In such a situation the code doesn't work - as no item is passed. An even if you find a way to retrieve the new item (we came up with various ideas to retrieve the item not passed to ItemAdded) it often causes issues in this situation. And the security contest of IIS still seems to be an issue.
Incredible!
this.DisableEventFiring();
item.SystemUpdate(false);
this.EnableEventFiring();
Work for me!
