Question

How to get the deleted file when itemDeleted event fire in remote event receiver in SharePoint Online.

I have tried as follows but this does not work:

List photos = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetById(properties.ItemEventProperties.ListId);
ListItem item = photos.GetItemById(properties.ItemEventProperties.ListItemId);
string filename = Convert.ToString(item["FileLeafRef"]);

Answer 1

Use ItemDeleting event instead of ItemDeleted if you want to get the file which is to be deleted. For ItemDeleted event List Item properties are not available.

SharePointEventReceiver

Answer 2

ItemDeleted Event will trigger after the file has been deleted, if you want to get file which will be deleted, use ItemDeleting instead:

SharePoint Remote Event Receiver – Item Deleting – Using Provider hosted App

Answer 3

You can get deleted item as follows.

  var fileurl = properties.ItemEventProperties.BeforeUrl;
    string[] nFileName = fileurl.Split('/');
    var fileName = nFileName[1];
