Attributes and elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

Attribute Description
DefaultFile Optional xs: string attribute.

The relative path, including the file name, of the file that opens in the Visual Studio editor when you open the SharePoint project item in Solution Explorer. The path is relative from the folder that contains the .spdata file.
FeatureReceiverClass Optional xs:string attribute.

The fully qualified name of a feature receiver class for this SharePoint project item. For more information about feature receivers, see Provide packaging and deployment information in project items.
FeatureReceiverAssembly Optional xs:string attribute.

Specifies the fully qualified name of an assembly that defines a feature receiver for this SharePoint project item. For more information about feature receivers, see Provide packaging and deployment information in project items. For more information about fully qualified assembly names, see Assembly Names.
SupportedTrustLevels Optional xs:string attribute.

Specifies the trust levels that this SharePoint project item supports. This value can be one of the following strings: Sandboxed, FullTrust, or All. The value All specifies both Sandboxed and FullTrust.

In a custom SharePoint project item type, the value of this attribute corresponds to the value that you assign to the SupportedTrustLevels property in your implementation of the InitializeType method. If you specify a different value for this attribute, Visual Studio overwrites the value so that it specifies the same trust level that you specify in the SupportedTrustLevels property.
SupportedDeploymentScopes Optional xs:string attribute.

Specifies the deployment scopes that this SharePoint project item supports. This value is a comma-delimited string that consists of one or more of the following strings: Farm, Site, Web, WebApplication, or Package. For example: Web, Site

In a custom SharePoint project item type, the value of this attribute corresponds to the value that you assign to the SupportedDeploymentScopes property in your implementation of the InitializeType method. If you specify a different value for this attribute, Visual Studio overwrites the value so that it specifies the same trust level that you specify in the SupportedDeploymentScopes property.
Type Required xs:string attribute.

The identifier for the SharePoint project item. In a custom SharePoint project item type, the identifier is the string that you pass to the SharePointProjectItemTypeAttribute. For more information, see How to: Define a SharePoint project item type.
