    Hi,

    I have an item adding event handler attached to a list.  This event handler was working working for a month, and today it just stopped working.

    The event handler just accesses the root folder's properties collections list and retrieves a value, updates it and stores it back.

    Here is a snippet of the code:
    SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
                    {
                        using (SPSite siteColl= new SPSite("http://someurl/"))
                        {
                            using (SPWeb currentSite = siteColl.OpenWeb())
                            {
                                //get the start counter
                                int startCounter = 0;
                                //allow any user to update
                                currentSite.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
                                //get current list
                                SPList currentList = currentSite.Lists["Projects"];

                                //if it doesnt contain the job number key add it with the custom job number
                                if (!currentList.RootFolder.Properties.ContainsKey("JobNumberCounter"))
                                {
                                    currentList.RootFolder.Properties.Add("JobNumberCounter", "2224");
                                }

                                //parse the counter to a number
                                startCounter = int.Parse(currentList.RootFolder.Properties["JobNumberCounter"].ToString());

                                //if regular job -- generate auto increment job number
                                if (jobType.Equals("Job"))
                                {
                                    ++startCounter;
                                    properties.AfterProperties[jobNumberInternalName] = startCounter;

                                    currentList.RootFolder.Properties["JobNumberCounter"] = startCounter.ToString();
                                    currentList.RootFolder.Update();
                                }

    Does anyone know why this is happening?  Is retrieving and updating the root folder's properties collection not reliable?  This worked for a month and suddenly today it stopped.
