Hi Paul,

you should be able to do this quite easily by extending ApplictionBase. Here's a quick example:

using System;
using System.Text;
using umbraco.BusinessLogic;
using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.web;
using umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory;
using umbraco.cms.businesslogic;
using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.media;
using System.Web;

namespace MyNamespace
{
    public class MyClass : ApplicationBase
    {
        StringBuilder _sb = new StringBuilder();
        Utilities _u = new Utilities();

        // default constructor; call the event
        public MyClass()
        {
            Document.AfterPublish += new Document.PublishEventHandler(Document_AfterPublish);
        }

        void Document_AfterPublish(Document sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.PublishEventArgs e)
        {
            //Always LOG
            Log.Add(LogTypes.Custom, sender.Id, "Event raised");

            //Check if the doctype is news
            if (sender.ContentType.Alias == "MyNodeType")
            {
                // Just hit my node type so let's log that we did
                Log.Add(LogTypes.Custom, sender.Id, "In my node type");
                
                // access document type props
                sender.getProperty("MyDocTypeProperty");
                
                // execute custom code...
                
                Log.Add(LogTypes.Custom, sender.Id, "Success writing stuff to my custom DB");
            }
        }
    }
}

The most important thing to remeber is that your class is public. Then, all you need to do is drop your assembly in the /bin folder and Umbraco will pick it up.

Hope this helps.

Ooops...left some code in there that you can ignore:

StringBuilder _sb = new StringBuilder();
Utilities _u = new Utilities();

Cheers.

Thanks guys

Exactly what I was looking for
