Finding Folder Name

Question

Hi All,

I have a problem. I have written a eventhandler which fires on itemupdated. Now in my document library there are few folders. Now I am going inside a folder and uploading a document there and on its itemupdated event I need to know under which folder the document is saved ( as the folder name is a metadata). HOw to get this folder name? ... I tried SPContext.Current.ListItem.Folder but its not working .. (Object reference not found error) ....

Plz tell if u have any solution

Thanks

You should be able to use something like this in your event handler

SPListItem item = properties.ListItem;

SPFolder folder = item.File.ParentFolder;

String folderName = folder.Name;

I hope that helps. Keep in mind though that you will only get the updated list item in the ItemUpdated event, in ItemUpdating whatever the changes that the user has made won't be in the SPListItem yet.
