This took me a while to figure out how to do this so I thought I’d share my experience.

Problem:
User needs to perform additional tasks after a new list item has been added to a list. I my case, I wanted the user to create a new list item of information that needed to be emailed to a certain group of people, based on what he/she selected in the new list item form.

Solution:
Create an Event Handler for the list and overriding the ‘ItemAdding’ method to:

Unfortunately, if you manage the content type of a list form, you are not able to choose which of these forms you can hide a column from. By default, hiding a column will be hidden on all forms.

In this post, I will show you how you can view all columns in your list and then choose which form to hide the column from.

I needed a way to upload an attachment to a list item within an Event Handler but discovered it was not that simple. Now that I have the code to add attachment to a list item, I don’t want to lose it.

The following code can be called from a web part or an application page easily. What was complicated for me was trying to attach a file from the ItemAdding/ItemAdded Event Handler.

You can use the list field iterator to show the ‘New’, ‘Edit’, and ‘Display’ form in a web part. The List Field Iterator will show all fields in your list view that you specify, and inherits the properties you specify for the view as well (such as column ordering and visible fields).
