Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function Add ( _
    relativePathToFeatureManifest As String, _
    solutionId As Guid _
) As SPFeatureDefinition
'Usage
Dim instance As SPFeatureDefinitionCollection
Dim relativePathToFeatureManifest As String
Dim solutionId As Guid
Dim returnValue As SPFeatureDefinition

returnValue = instance.Add(relativePathToFeatureManifest, _
    solutionId)
public SPFeatureDefinition Add(
    string relativePathToFeatureManifest,
    Guid solutionId
)

Parameters

  • relativePathToFeatureManifest
    Type: System.String

    A string that contains the relative path to the manifest for the Feature.

  • solutionId
    Type: System.Guid

    System.Guid that identifies the solution.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPFeatureDefinition
A Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPFeatureDefinition object that represents the new Feature definition.

Remarks

Adding a Feature to the collection installs the Feature in the server farm, making it available for activation in its specified scope. Adding a Feature that has farm scope not only installs the Feature, but activates it within the farm.

Warning

Using the SPFeatureDefinition constructor to create a Feature definition object is not supported; it returns a NullReferenceException if you attempt to implement members of an object created through the constructor.
