    Document.BeforeSave fires twice. Doesnt expose current properties

    API Questions

    I set up a class that inherits from ApplicationBase and wires into Document.BeforeSave in the class constructor. When fire the old debugger and watch it, I see Document.BeforeSave being fired twice for each time I press the Save button in the backoffice. Also, when I examine the properties of sender, they do not represent the currently saving items, but rather the previously saved version.  By this I mean I open the document in the backoffice set a textpage's body text to "Version A" and save it.  If I then change the body text to "Version B" and hit save, when my the event is fired the sender's bodyText property still has "Version A" in it.

    I am testing this on a clean install of Umbraco 4.7

    Why is the event firing twice?

    How can I access the properties of the currently saving document?

    I'm also having the same problem. This seems similar to a bug that is marked as closed in CodePlex - http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/21847?ProjectName=umbraco Maybe it should be re-opened?

    I have the same problem in Umbraco 4.7.2 (Document_BeforeSave fires twice) but I could use it though.

    The first fire contains the old properties in Sender, while the new properties are not yet in DB, so they can't be loaded from anywhere.

    The second fire

    • the sender contains old properties all the time
    • when the document Text changed, the sender contains the new Text, but still has the old properties
    • the new values can be loaded with Document newValues = new Document(sender.Id);
    • you can check if property X changed between sender and newValues
    • if value changed, then do some processing
    • it's ok to set some properties in newValues object, they will be saved in Umbraco
