If you want to declaratively attach the event receiver, you may specify ListUrl in the Receivers Element.
<Receivers
ListTemplateId = "Text"
ListTemplateOwner = "Text"
ListUrl = string
RootWebOnly = TRUE | FALSE
Scope = Site | Web>
</Receivers>
How to: Create an Event Receiver for a Specific List Instance
Create a feature that upon activation have the proper code to attach to a specific list for e.g. :
public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
{
SPWeb site = null;
try
{
//Adds the overridden ItemUpdated Event Receiver to a list
site = (SPWeb)properties.Feature.Parent;
SPList lst = site.Lists["customEmpList"];
string asmName = "AssemblyNameOfYourEventHandler, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=EnterThePublicKeyTokenHere";
string itemReceiverName = "Namespace.ClassOfEventHandler";
lst.EventReceivers.Add(SPEventReceiverType.ItemUpdated, asmName, itemReceiverName);
lst.Update()
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
finally
{
site.Dispose();
}
}
