You cannot use the ItemUpdating event to retrieve an updated value in SharePoint Server 2007 or in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Create a new site by using the Publishing template.
2. Click Site Actions, point to Site Settings, and then click Modify Pages Library Settings.
3. Click Versioning settings.
4. Under Content Approval, click No.
5. Under Document Version History, click Create major and minor (draft) versions.
6. Under Draft Item Security, click Only users who can edit items.
7. Under Require Check Out, click Yes.
8. Click OK.
9. Create two new pages, and then verify that each page has a different title.
10. Create an event receiver that traps the ItemUpdating event.
11. Use the properties.BeforeProperties property and the properties.AfterProperties property to retrieve the title of a page.
    
    Notice that both properties return the same value.
