I've a strange problem with activating a feature from C#: I have a list with a event receiver attached, which creates a new sub-site every time a new listitem has been added:

var newWeb = subSites.Add(SPEncode.HtmlEncode(abkuerzung), firmierung, "", cid, "STS#1", false, false);

After creation of the sub-site, which works as expected, i try to activate a custom feature, which is installed on the root web:

newWeb.Features.Add(new Guid("{4017e2cf-5be6-4fb2-9e8a-a176188eb3ca}"), false, SPFeatureDefinitionScope.Site);

The problem is, that the event FeatureActivated does not execute. It will execute, if i activate the feature from the site settings, but not from my code. I checked the Guid, changed the bool which forces the feature to be activated even on errors, but the code inside my event will not be executed.

Any idea will be helpful...

Are you sure the activated event isn't just firing and failing? Have you set a breakpoint and attach to UserCodeProxy? – Per Jakobsen Sep 5 '12 at 11:51
Use this tool to check if its attached or not spfeaturemanager.codeplex.com – SharePointer Sep 5 '12 at 12:23
@Per I had a breakpoint in the event and the event is not fired. But i digged a little bit deeper - see update. – Thommy Sep 5 '12 at 13:00
