You cant. Even though the event is synchronous, you don't get a reference to the current context, which means you will not be able to tell.

Hi All, I have been trying to figure out how to get the current view of a list in the updating event handler but no luck. My problem is that I want to know if the view is Standard or Grid and do different things depending on the view. Something like this: /// <summary> /// Synchronous before event that occurs when an existing item is changed, for example, when the user changes data in one or more fields. /// </summary> /// <param name="properties"> /// A Microsoft.SharePoint.SPItemEventProperties object that represents properties of the event handler. /// </param> public override void ItemUpdating(SPItemEventProperties properties) { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty((string)properties.AfterProperties["Person"]) == true) { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty((string)properties.AfterProperties["Return Date"]) == true) { if(GetCurrentViewType(properties.ListItem.ParentList).CompareTo("GRID") == 0) { properties.AfterProperties["Book out"] = 0; } else { properties.AfterProperties["Book out"] = false; } } } } public string GetCurrentViewType(SPList List) { foreach (SPView View in List.Views) { // This does not work when the List is embedded in a webPart if (View.Url.CompareTo(List.ParentWebUrl) == 0) { return View.Type; } } return "N/A"; } I have tried to use the parameters.ItemList.ParentList object with the GetView, Views and DefaultView properties but any of them return the view used in the current context. Any help will be appreciated. Regards, Javier This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.
