Question

I have this event receiver c# class that I am trying to implement on a Sharepoint site. It did not work. I have deployed it from visual studio 2010 after it was build ok. Does anyone see what is the problem? Is the code ok? or is the problem on the SP? Thank you.
– here is the new code

    using System;
using System.Security.Permissions;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Security;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow;

namespace EventReceiverCFolder.EventReceiver1
{
    /// <summary>
    /// List Item Events
    /// </summary>
    public class EventReceiver1 : SPItemEventReceiver
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// An item is being added.
        /// </summary>
        public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
        {

            try
            {
                if (properties.ListTitle == "CF") // list where the item was added 
                { // if item was added to this list then create a folder on -  Dlib - list
                    UpdateFolder(properties);
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                properties.Status = SPEventReceiverStatus.CancelWithError;
                properties.ErrorMessage = ex.Message;
                properties.Cancel = true;
            }
        }

        private void UpdateFolder(SPItemEventProperties properties)
        {
            string foldername = properties.ListItem["Title"].ToString();

            try
            {
                SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
                {
                    //inside RunWithElevatedPriviliges I need to open a new site (an elevated site) 
                    using (SPSite site = new SPSite(properties.Web.Site.ID))
                    {
                        using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                        {
                            web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
                            SPList list = web.Lists.TryGetList("DLib"); // this is doc Library where the new folder will be created
                            //note that we are creating a list item, not a folder - a folder IS a list item 
                            SPListItem createdFolder = list.Items.Add(list.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl, SPFileSystemObjectType.Folder, null);
                            if (createdFolder != null)
                            {
                            createdFolder["Name"] = foldername;
                                createdFolder.Update();
                            }
                            list.Update();
                        }
                    }
                });
            }
            finally { }
        }
    }
}

I had to get folder name like this:

string foldername = Convert.ToString(properties.AfterProperties["Title"]);
