  Dear Uwe82

  Have you successfully accomplished this If so can you post some sample code, i have the exact same scenario

  Kind regards

  Solution:
  
  Create a class inherited from SPFeatureReceiver. Implement the methods FeatureActivated, FeatureDeactivating, FeatureInstalled and FeatureUninstalling by overriding the base methods.
  
  Write your code into the FeatureActivated-method.
  
  Now change your feature.xml in the props ReceiverClass and ReceiverAssembly and set the corresponding values there for your assembly.

  No problem. You have to create a class, here's mine for example:

  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.Text;
  using Microsoft.SharePoint;
  using System.Diagnostics;
  using Microsoft.Office.Workflow;
  namespace Urlaubsantrag.Lists
  {
  public class FeatureEventHandler : SPFeatureReceiver
  {
  public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
  {
  SPSite site = properties.Feature.Parent as SPSite;
  SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
  SPList urlaubsanspruchList = web.Lists["Urlaubsanspruch"];
  SPList feiertagsgruppeList = web.Lists["Feiertagsgruppe"];
  if (!urlaubsanspruchList.Fields.ContainsField("Feiertagsgruppe"))
  urlaubsanspruchList.Fields.AddLookup("Feiertagsgruppe", feiertagsgruppeList.ID, false);
  }
  public override void FeatureDeactivating(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
  {
  //throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
  }
  public override void FeatureInstalled(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
  {
  //throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
  }
  public override void FeatureUninstalling(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
  {
  //throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
  }
  }
  }

  This sample adds a lookup field to the list Urlaubsanspruch. In the feature definition, you need to set the following attributes according to your own assembly:

  ReceiverAssembly="Urlaubsantrag.Lists, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=527e592493732533"
  ReceiverClass="Urlaubsantrag.Lists.FeatureEventHandler"

  That's all ;)
