Question

How to get spfieldlookup value in spItemEventreceiver itemadding event.

Answer 1

Hi,

It depends if it is a single or multivalue lookup. Theoretically it shoould work:

String lookupValueString = Convert.ToString(properties.AfterProperties[fieldName]);

// for single value
SPFieldLookupValueCollection lookupValueSingle = new SPFieldLookupValue(lookupValueString);
// for multi value
SPFieldLookupValueCollection lookupValueMulti = new SPFieldLookupValueCollection(lookupValueString);

BTW, is it a list or document library? ItemAdding is bound to the list or to the content type?
