Debugging Remote Event Recievers

  1. We must create a new azure service bus namespace using azure powershell
  2. The command give back a connection sting to connect to Azure environment with EndPoint
  3. Use this in visual studio for connecting to azure
  4. go to project properties
  5. inside that go to SharePoint tab
  6. Check the enable debugging via Azure service bus
  7. copy past the connection string that we got from command prompt
  8. insert a breakpoints and click on F5 for debugging

Remote event receivers in SharePoint 2013


The remote events supports

Site - Create, Move, Delete
List - Create, Delete
List schema - Create, Update, Delete
List Item - Create, Update, Delete, Move, CheckIn, UnCheckIn, CheckOut, AttachmentsAdded, AttachemntsRemoved, FileMoved, FileConverted
App - Install, Update, Uninstall

Some Impotent Points to be noted:
  • Remote event receivers call across the networks
  • After events use WCF(Windows communication foundation) call on remote web so that they do not block the sharepoint host nor delay the response back to the user
  • Remote event recievers will only workf if the concern list is present in App Web
  • SharePoint hosted apps doesnt support remote event receievers, its only provider hosted apps
  • IRemoteEventService an interface thats get inherited in remote event recievers
  • We have only two events called "ProcessEvent" which is a two way event and "ProcessOneWayEvent" for one way
  • Properties argument defines the event that has fired on a list item
  • We will be having only single entry point for all the events
  • Properties.ItemEventProperties is for an item events and Properties.ListEventProperties for list events
  • SPRemoteEventResult which is used to sent status back to SharePoint(used for sending information and also for canceling the events)


Before events example

After events example



  • App Life Cycle events are two way events
  • "ProcessOneWayEvent" never file in App related events
This are just brief points about remote event recievers.
