Web site deletion events occur in the following cases:
-
The Web site is deleted through the user interface.
-
The folder that contains a Web site is deleted in an application that is compatible with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation (such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007) through remote procedure call protocol (RPC).
-
The folder that contains a Web site is deleted through Distributed Authoring and Versioning (DAV).
Web site deletion events occur only for the first Web site in a chain of sites. For example, if a Web site at http://TopSite/Site, which has the subwebs http://TopSite/Site/Subsite1 and http://TopSite/Site/Subsite2, is deleted in Office SharePoint Designer 2007, only one deletion event occurs, namely, for the http://TopSite/Site root Web site.

If you attempt to access the deleted Web in your event receiver by using the properties.Web property from your WebDeleted(SPWebEventProperties) or SiteDeleted(SPWebEventProperties) methods, a System.IO.FileNotFoundException is thrown rather than a simple null return. |
