Lets try to debug the code. Kindly do the following steps and kindly share the results:

1 - replcae URL in DocLists.Add(URL,content) with a hard coded URL of the file.
2 - Check the size of “content”.

3 - Check the values of DocLibFolder and DocLists using debug.

waiting for your reply.

Hi Farhan,

i have been trying your code for 2 days. It some how is not working. I get the error of
“NullReferenceException was handled by user code ”
Troulbe shooting Tips:
Use new keyword to create an object instance.
Check to determine if the object is null before the calling method.
Get general help for this exception.

Attach is an excerpt of my code that was inspired from your style of code.

public void AttachDocument(FileUpload file)
{

byte[] content = new byte[file.PostedFile.ContentLength];
string URL = “http://oss1:22222/test/” + file.FileName;

content = file.FileBytes;
SPFolder DocLibFolder = WebSite.GetFolder(”DLOne”);
SPFileCollection DocLists = DocLibFolder.Files;
sp.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
WebSite.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPFile FileAdded = DocLists.Add(URL, content); -> Get an exception at this line
SPListItem DocAdded = FileAdded.Item;
DocName = DocAdded.Name;
DocTitle = DocName.Substring(0, DocName.IndexOf(’.'));
DocAdded["Title"] = DocTitle;
DocAdded.Update();
}

This is so useful! Worked great but I did have to up the maximum upload file size in sharepoint central admin before I got it to work. Thanks ever so much.

Comment on Creating & Adding an Event Handler by Farhan Faiz

Dirk,

I don’t think so that Updated and Updating event are fired when the item is created for the first time.

Regards,

Great sample / tutorial…

But one question. Is it so that the Updated and Updating event are always fired even when the item is created for the first time?

Greets and thanks for the great post

I’m using the german trial version of Sharepoint Designer at the moment and it does the backup without problems, but creates .fwp-files instead of .cmp. Just for your information.

Usually Time Out error is SQL Server Error.

If you google like “upgrade SQL Server error”, you will find some good resources to sort this out.
