attach event receiver to specific List definition

Question

Hello ,

•  I have created a custom List Definition (Type=10000);
• Then I create a list instance from list definition .
• I have create an Event Receiver , And Set  <Receivers ListTemplateId="10000" .
• I create a feature (Scope: Site) . and add previous elements to it .
• I activate the feature . Then When I add an item in the list , the event receiver works fine.

      If I try add an item to another list  with a different list definition , the event receiver works too .

     So what is wrong ? And How can run event receiver with a specific list definition ?

   Thanks

Hi

I too was leaning towards the suggestion in the link provided by Khem, but I'm not sure since you are referring to "list definition" while the linked suggestion works on an instance of a list.

Depends on your needs. If you add it in site scope, all lists in the site collection using your definition will trigger the event receiver. Use Web scope to trigger the receiver only within the parent site and its subsites.
