Thanks Rick,

Usually the DLLs are named such that you are able to get a quick idea of what it is supposed to do. I wont recommed to add tokens to the name that represent content utilized within the DLL. If you modify the FeatureActivated given above, you could actually run this for all of the lists in your web, and in that case it would be impossible to give it a content based name.

In a real world, you will usually do:

CompanyName.ProductName.WhatItDoes.dll OR

ClientName.SharePoint.WhatItDoes.dll

Hope this helps–

Thanks for the great post. This is the first one I’ve come across on this subject that was thorough and actually worked (without typos) the first time!

Since the “FeatureActivated” method has a hard coded List Name “AlertMe” in the code, would it be best to add the name of the list this feature is targeted to as part of the dll name? Potentially, i could have many feature dll’s in my GAC, but it could be very confusing to know what dll does what. What would you suggest is the best practice for naming dlls?

Thanks again for your post.
