Content Type Definition Schema

Windows SharePoint Services 3

Other Versions

Each element manifest that defines content types must adhere to the Content Type Definition Schema.

Following is a list of the elements in the Content Type Definition Schema.

Note:
The Forms Element (ContentType) element is obsolete, as are its child elements. The DocumentTemplate Element (FieldRefs) child element of the FieldRefs Element (ContentType) element is obsolete as well.

Content Type Schema Example

Following is an example of the XML that defines the Document content type in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. Elements have been edited for readability.

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!-- _lcid="1033" _version="12.0.3008" _dal="1" -->
…
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">

  <ContentType ID="0x0101"

      V2ListTemplateName="doclib"

    <FieldRefs>
      <RemoveFieldRef ID=FID_Attachments Name="Attachments" /> <!-- Attachments -->

      <FieldRef ID=FID_Title Name="Title" Required="FALSE" ShowInNewForm="FALSE" ShowInEditForm="TRUE"/> <!-- Title --> 
…
    </FieldRefs>
    <XmlDocuments>
