SPListItem life cycle

Question

I'd like to have some help on list item life cycle. Any links where I can read about this?

And main thing I need to know is that in event receiver there are methods as :

1. ItemAdding
2. ItemAdded
3. ItemUpdating
4. ItemUpdated

Where workflows starts? How to stop updating process and just update some fields with systemupdate and don't fire any error? What i need is to update some field with no new version and with no workflows start.

You should be able to use (in your eventreceiver):

base.EventFiringEnabled = false;
//Do some changes to the list item
item.SystemUpdate();
base.EventFiringEnabled = true;
