Clem, sorry it's not working for you. It did for me 3 years ago, can't say I have tried since.

Thanks Oliman for such an insightful comment. Your valuable time must most certainly not be wasted. Perhaps if you slow down a bit you would notice things like dates showing the post is 5 years old. But it's great to learn that Microsoft has moved on since then.

Inside an event handler for an ItemAdded event, getting the List Item’s ContentType is as easy as var contentType = properties.ListItem.ContentType;
However, for ItemAdding, properties.ListItem is null.
Luckily, the ContentType name and Id are part of the properties.AfterProperties collection – the following will work:
SPList list = properties.List;
string contentTypeName = properties.AfterProperties["ContentType"].ToString();
SPContentType contentType = list.ContentTypes[contentTypeName];
SPFieldCollection fields = contentType.Fields;
Between the AfterProperties field values and the content type field collection, you typically have all that you need... Just remember to not depend on properties.ListItem.

properties.AfterProperties["ContentType"].ToString is null in afterproperties. This does not work!

This article is outdated. Whoever wrote it, must delete it before it wastes anymore time of others

Here are some results captured from the immediate window while debugging...
