Hi Per,

you should use SerializeTo/DeserializeFrom  methods:

   var itemState = new Dictionary<String, Object>();
   args.Item.SerializeTo(itemState);
   // update itemState as you want
   args.Item.DeserializeFrom(itemState);

Best regards,

Vladimir

Hi Per

On the ItemArgs you have an Item property - that will give you access to the item and its field values.

There are 2 different notifications when an item is saved:

Notifications.Items.Saving is broadcasted before the item is persisted to db

Notifications.Items.Saved is broadcasted after the item is persisted to db

So you should use the Saving notification.

Something like this:

using Dynamicweb;

namespace Dynamicweb.Examples.CSharp.Notifications.Standard.Item

{

[Dynamicweb.Extensibility.Subscribe(Dynamicweb.Notifications.Items.Saving)]

public class ItemSavingObserver : Dynamicweb.Extensibility.NotificationSubscriber

{

public override void OnNotify(string notification, Dynamicweb.Extensibility.NotificationArgs args)

{

if (args == null)

return;

Dynamicweb.Notifications.Items.ItemArgs itemArgs = (Dynamicweb.Notifications.Items.ItemArgs)args;

itemArgs.ToItem(itemArgs.Item)["MyField"] = "New value";

//itemArgs.Item

//TODO: Add code here

}

}

}

Hi,

In DW9 - the Notification reference have been updated, but not all the way through.

This is how it will work in DW9:
Dynamicweb.Notifications.Items.ItemUpdateArgs itemArgs = args as Dynamicweb.Notifications.Items.ItemUpdateArgs;
However, this is deprecated behaviour.

Should be :
Dynamicweb.Notifications.ItemNotification.ItemUpdateArgs itemArgs = args as Dynamicweb.Notifications.ItemNotification.ItemUpdateArgs;

Dont know where else to report these type of "bugs:" than here)

Hi Jan,

Thank you for notice - we will fix it asap.

Kind regards,

Vladimir
