I am studying List Definition in sharepoint 2010.I have two files one schema.xml and another elements.xml

elements.xml

<ContentType ID="0x0101005CF0DB5B6075417a8664EFD23835C831"
           Name= "SCORM Content type"
           Group="Solutions" V2ListTemplateName="doclib" BaseType="0x0101"
           Description="This is the Content type for SCORM Library."
           Version="0">
    <FieldRefs>
<FieldRef Name="CourseName" ID="{B0884BE9-EE9D-4ae0-97E7-67AA0902A7FA}" />
</FieldRefs>
</ContentType>
   <ListTemplate
    Name="doclib"
    Type="1116"
    BaseType="1"
    OnQuickLaunch="FALSE"
    SecurityBits="11"
    Sequence="110"
    DisplayName="SCORM Library"
    Description="Library to store SCORM courses."
    Image="/_layouts/images/itdl.png"
    NewPage= "SL/Pages/XSLnew.aspx"
    Category="Libraries"
    DocumentTemplate="101"/>

Schema.xml

<ContentTypes>
  <ContentTypeRef ID="0x0101005CF0DB5B6075417a8664EFD23835C831">
    <Folder TargetName="Forms/Document" />
  </ContentTypeRef>
  <ContentTypeRef ID="0x0120" /> 
</ContentTypes>

 <Fields>    
 <Field ID="{B0884BE9-EE9D-4ae0-97E7-67AA0902A7FA}" Type="Text" Name="CourseName" DisplaceOnUpgrade="TRUE" DisplayName="Course Name" XName="TemplateUrl" Filterable="TRUE" Sortable="TRUE" Hidden="FALSE" FromBaseType="TRUE" PITarget="mso-infoPathSolution" PIAttribute="href" SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3" StaticName="CourseName"/>

Separating each question.

Your Id of the <ContentTypeRef ID="0x0120" /> specifies a reference to a content type to associate with the lis you are creating through the list definition. In particular, you are telling to associate Folder Content Type.

By the other hand in the Elements.xml, type="1116" is wrong because doesn't exist (take a look here

If you want to add a Document Library you should write type="101"

  • for adding document type we have to add DocumentTemplate="101" in ListTemplate tag.From my limited knowledge 1116 is a new type of list definition we are creating.Is this correct?

  • Right. With this number (1116) you are creating a Custom List definition but not a document library. My recommendation is to begin from 10000

  • Method i followed is to create a custom list definition from document library list template.Is my thoughts right?

  • If you want the same behaviour that a Document Library you should modify your type by 101 instead of 1116 but your method is right

    There is no difference. Each attribute is used for different scopes. In fact DocumentTemplate is only used when BaseType="1" The base type represents the default schema, for lists created from the definition: 0 -- GenericList, 1 -- DocumentLibrary, 3 -- DiscussionBoard, 4 -- Survey, 5 -- Issue
