What's New: Events Enhancements

Applies to: SharePoint Foundation 2010

Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 supports multiple new events, including onCreate events for lists and Web sites and support for synchronous after events. Many of the new events are available in both synchronous and asynchronous modes. SharePoint Foundation offers a more approachable events infrastructure that is easier to program against than earlier versions.

What's New in the Event Model

New events in SharePoint Foundation 2010 include the following:

  • add and delete events on lists.

  • add events on Web sites.

  • after events can now be either synchronous or asynchronous.

Additionally, new event model capabilities include the following:

  • Event registration at the site collection level.

  • XML event registration at the site receiver.

  • Improved semantics for retrieving event data.

  • Improved user interface for form-level events.
