Create a new SharePoint Farm Project
Add a new List Definition and call it JobTitles_LD
Give the List Definition the following Properties
Name: Job Titles
Type: Custom List
Add List Instance: False || True (it's your call)
Add a new list instance and call it JobTitles_LI
Give the list the following properties
- Name: Job Titles
- List Type: Job Titles
- Description: Available Job Titles
- List URL: Lists/JobTitles
- Quick Launch: False
Rename feature1 as NewEmployee_WebScoped
Open up the feature manifest
- Give your feature a title and description
- Set the scope to web
- Make sure that your list instance and definitions are in the elements manifest; that it is in the right hand column.
Open up the elements file of your list instance, by default it should look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"> <ListInstance Title="Job Titles" OnQuickLaunch="TRUE" TemplateType="10000" Url="Lists/JobTitles" Description="Available Job Titles"> </ListInstance> </Elements>
What you’re going to do is add data to it like so
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"> <ListInstance Title="Job Titles" OnQuickLaunch="TRUE" TemplateType="10000" Url="Lists/JobTitles" Description="Available Job Titles"> <Data> <Rows> <Row> <Field Name="Title">Application Programmer</Field> </Row> <Row> <Field Name="Title">Business Analyst</Field> </Row> <Row> <Field Name="Title">Software Developer</Field> </Row> <Row> <Field Name="Title">Software Architect</Field> </Row> <Row> <Field Name="Title">Information Architect</Field> </Row> <Row> <Field Name="Title">Information Wizard</Field> </Row> </Rows> </Data> </ListInstance> </Elements>
And that’s it you’re done, deploy your project and you should have a list with your specified data.
