Protected Sub DisableEventFiring
'Usage

Me.DisableEventFiring()

Remarks

One reason to prevent events from being raised is to avoid recursion. For example, if you have an ItemAdded event on a list and you write code within it to add an item, you can put that code in a DisableEventReceivers() ... EnableEventReceivers() block to avoid recursion.
