Attaching document eventhandlers

Sample code to attach to document events

remember to add the cms.dll, businesslogic.dll and umbraco.dll to your project.

Add references to the right namespaces at the top of your .cs file

using umbraco.BusinessLogic;
using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.web;

Attach to the beforePublish event

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    Document.BeforePublish += new Document.PublishingEventHandler(Document_BeforePublish);
}

void Document_BeforePublish(Document sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.PublishEventArgs e) {
    Response.Write(sender.Text + " is about to be published");

//if you wish to cancel the publish about to happen, simply set Eventargs cancel = true

e.Cancel = true;
}
