Title coulmn should be filled in with pattren "CourseTitle( StartDateTime )" where CourseTitle was a Lookup field and StartDate Time was a default Start time field for Events List.

11. Lastly, we need .ddf file to tell how to arrange the files(elements.xml,feature.xml,dll,aspx pages or images) in a solution .cab project.

12. Add a Text file and name it as EventReciver.ddf. Write the following text in ddf file :

.OPTION EXPLICIT ; Generate errors

.Set CabinetNameTemplate =EventReciver.wsp; //name of soultion package

.Set DiskDirectoryTemplate=CDROM; All cabinets go to same folder

.Set CompressionType=MSZIP; //All files compressed in cabinet files

.Set DiskDirectory1 = Package

manifest.xml manifest.xml

Featurefolder\feature.xml Featurefolder\feature.xml

Featurefolder\EventReciversElement.xml Featurefolder\EventReciversElement.xml

bin\Debug\EventReciverFeature.dll EventReciverFeature.dll

13. open the command prompt and navigate to the EventReciverFeature folder.

write makecab.exe /f EventReciver.ddf to create a .wsp file in a package folder in EventReciverFeature folder.
