Hello,

I have written a event receiver code in SharePoint 2013 Item updated event to edit metadata properties of the document and copying\moving it to another library.

It is working for a MS word & Excel older versions like(.doc , .xls , .txt , .png etc)

It is not working for a MS word & Excel older versions like(.docx , .xlsx)

my code is as below

using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://yoursiteurl"))

{

using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())

{

SPList list = web.Lists["test"];

SPListItem item = properties.ListItem;

//add metadata

Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();

ht.Add("testcol", "myfile");

ht.Add("vti_title", "mytitle");

SPFile destfile = list.RootFolder.Files.Add(item.File.Name, item2.File.OpenBinary(), ht, true);

destfile.update();

}

Many thanks in advance

Thanks

Are you trying to do this through Internet explorer or Chrome?

Thank you for your answer Manpreet Singh,

I have achieved the document moving functionality. The thing required here is first library i have a columns called "status", "Department", "Date of Issue" etc and in second library i have columns called "CEO Approval Status", "Department","Date of Issue" and etc.

Scenario is if i update item in first library Document and its edited properties values should be save to another library.
here documents are moving from one library to another library and its properties are getting updated if i add older versions of MS Office files like(MS Word 2007, Excel Documents)

It is working for a MS word & Excel older versions like(.doc , .xls , .txt , .png etc)

here documents are moving from one library to another library and its properties are not getting updating if i add newer versions of MS Office files like(MS Word 2010/2013, Excel 2010/2013 Documents)

It is not working for a MS word & Excel older versions like(.docx , .xlsx) .

Many Thanks in Advance
