SharePoint has a multitude of aspects that provide several levels of development; One of these is through Event Recievers. They allow you to add further functionality to the existing product which is the foundation of SharePoint Development. SharePoint will not address all the requirements your business is looking for, but it does allow for customized solutions in order to meet the needs of your business. SharePoint Event receivers are not overly complicated, but there are several outlined steps for deployment and usage that need to be taken into consideration, and are worth exploring. In this workshop, I will cover:
- 1) Function of Event Receivers
- 2) Definition Files (eg. Feature.xml)
- 3) Developing Assemblies
- 4) Deployment Strategies
- 5) Issues to be aware of
- 6) A Solution Example using Event Receivers
