How to detect the item restore on a ItemAdded() event on SharePoint

Question

Hi,

I know that when an item is restored from the recycle bin, the ItemAdded event is fired. However, how can i detect if the item added comes from the recycle bin or if it is a new file.

Thanks

Answer 1

You could check the Created Date of the item. Items from the Recycle bin should have a previous created date.

Answer 2

Items in the recycle bin have a DeletedDate that may be available in the properties.BeforeProperties

Answer 3

If you want detect it manually, then check the property of the document: there created data is different. For a document even if it was thrown into recycle bin the created data is the same. If you want do it through kind of workflow then you can set property as a benchmark. more detail please find it yourself.
