SharePoint 2013 Event Receiver for specific list

Question

Per my understanding, Event Receiver is created for list type like libraries or Custom Lists.

However, I just want the Event Receiver for a specific list not for all Custom List Type.

Is this possible to set the condition when deployment ?

Thanks for any help.

Hi @g h ,

Yes. It's possible to attach Event Receiver to a single list, modify Elements.xml like this sepecify ListUrl instead ListTemplateId:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">  
  <Receivers ListUrl="Lists/PublishedFeed" >  
      <Receiver>  
        <Name>NewsfeedNotificationItemAdded</Name>  
        <Type>ItemAdded</Type>  
        <Assembly>$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$</Assembly>  
        <Class>NewsfeedEventReceiver.NewsfeedNotification.NewsfeedNotification</Class>  
        <SequenceNumber>10000</SequenceNumber>  
      </Receiver>  
  </Receivers>  
</Elements>
