SharePoint Feature Receivers

In SharePoint, a feature receiver is used to add event handlers. Feature receivers derive from SPFeatureReceiver.

The following events are useful when activating a feature:

FeatureInstalled – runs after feature installed

FeatureActivated – runs after feature activated

FeatureDeactivating – runs before feature deactivated

FeatureUninstalling – runs before feature uninstalled
