Examples

The following example inspects the SPFeatureDefinitionCollection of server farm to find the "hello" feature and display certain properties. This feature was created with a value of "New Picture" in the property named ImageUrlAltText in the file named feature.xml file and in the CustomAction element of the elements.xml file.

SPFarm farm = SPFarm.Local.Farm;
          Console.WriteLine("Hello World from farm " + farm.Name );
          SPFeatureDefinitionCollection farmFeatures = farm.FeatureDefinitions;
          System.Globalization.CultureInfo cInfo = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(1033);           
          Console.WriteLine(farmFeatures.Count + " is the number of farm features");
          string strImgAltTxt; // this feature has ImageUrlAltText="New Picture"
          foreach (SPFeatureDefinition f in farmFeatures) {
            if (string.Equals(f.DisplayName.ToLower(cInfo), "hello"))
            {
              Console.WriteLine("****" + f.DisplayName);
              Console.Write("    " + f.ReceiverClass + " ");
              if (f.RequireResources)
                Console.WriteLine("requires resources");
              else
                Console.WriteLine("does not require resources");
              Console.WriteLine("    Assembly " + f.ReceiverAssembly);
              Console.WriteLine("    ID " + f.Id);
              Console.WriteLine("    Name " + f.Name);
              strImgAltTxt = f.GetImageAltText(cInfo);
              if (strImgAltTxt.Length > 0)
                Console.WriteLine("    Image " + strImgAltTxt);
            }
          }
          Console.ReadLine();
