  • The SharePoint Customization Wizard opens. Select Item as the base content type and click Finish.
Choose Content Type
 
In actuality, it doesn't matter which base content type selection is made in the wizard because this feature will contain a variety of elements that will replace what Visual Studio generates. At this point you should see some new items in Solution Explorer: a feature named Feature1 and an item named Store Data.
 
Solution Explorer
 
Select Feature1 and press F2 to rename it. Enter StoreData as the new name.
 
Rename Feature
 
Finally, double-click StoreData to open the feature's designer. Change the Title to Store Data and enter a meaningful description like Fields, Content Types, and Lists for the store.
