In a Feature.xml file, the Feature element defines a Feature and specifies the location of assemblies, files, dependencies, or properties that support the Feature.

For information about where to create and how to implement Feature.xml files, see Using Features in SharePoint Foundation.

Example

The following example shows how to use a Feature.xml file to specify activation dependencies, special fields, and relative paths to element definition files.

    <Feature
      Id="11111111-1111-1111-1111-11111111111"
      Title="Location Services"
      Description="This Feature contains lists and parts that let you link location data to your customer lists."
      Scope="Web">
      <ActivationDependencies>
        <ActivationDependency
          FeatureId="11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111" />
      </ActivationDependencies>
      <ElementManifests>
        <ElementManifest
          Location="Location\LocationPart.xml"/>
        <ElementManifest
          Location="CustomerLocation\CustomerLocationList.xml"/>
        <ElementFile
          Location="test.aspx"/>
      </ElementManifests>
      <Properties>
        <Property
          Key="Color"
          Value="Blue"/>
        <Property
          Key="Shape"
          Value="Triangle"/>
      </Properties> 
    </Feature>
