Syntax

Copy

[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, ObjectModel = true)]
public class SPElementDefinition

Remarks

Custom element types must derive from the SPElementDefinition class.

Use the GetElementDefinitions method of the SPFeatureDefinition class to return the collection of element definitions that are used in a Feature definition.

Examples

The following example iterates through all the Features in a site collection and uses the GetElementDefinitions method to return all the element definitions of the Features.

Copy

SPSite site = new SPSite("http://localhost");
SPFeatureCollection featureCollection = site.Features;

foreach (SPFeature feature in featureCollection)
{
    SPFeatureDefinition featureDefinition = feature.Definition;
    SPElementDefinitionCollection elementDefinitionCollection =
featureDefinition.GetElementDefinitions(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

    foreach (SPElementDefinition elementDefinition in elementDefinitionCollection)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(elementDefinition.Id);
    }
}
