title: Creating Custom List Definition using VS 2010 without creating Custom Content type
body: <p>I want to create Custom List Definition without creating custom content type. Way I followed is created farm solution without list instance -> In the elements.xml file I gave 10005 as a type and in the Schema.XML in the  section I added custom fields and also in the default view as well. When I deployed this project and created list based on this definition and clicked on the "New Item" it didnt show Custom Columns but only the Title Column. To solve this I removed whole content type section from the Schema.XMl and deployed the solution again. I created list based on the List definition this time clicking on the "New Item" link in the list view it shows all the custom columns but when I go to ribbon and click on the "New Item" drop down it does not show "New Item" but it shows the name of the list instead and also it adds the name of the list as a content type. I can understand this behaviour as I removed content type section from the Schema.XML but how can I add custom columns to Item Content type ?</p>
