Creating a list definition
In all the previous recipes, when we deployed the content type, we had to manually create a list based on the content type using the SharePoint UI. We can create list instances based on the content type using Visual Studio without going through the SharePoint UI.
In this recipe, we will create a custom content type called an Expense content type and based on that content type, we will create a list Definition and list Instance.
Our Expense content type will be based on an Item content type and will have three fields named Title, Amount, and Expense category which is a choice field.
