Event Receiver and Client Object Model Problem

Question

I have an Event Receiver attached to ListA and I am updating ListA via the Client Object Model.

I want to prevent the Event Receiver from firing on my COM updates. Is there an EnableEventsFiring method in the Client Object Model like there is in the Server Object Model? I can't seem to find information on this.

Thanks.

Answer 1

No way to do this from Client Object Model. But you can add a column to a list like IsUpdatedFromCOM and check this column from Event Receiver.
