How do I create an event receiver for a single list that is based on a custom content type?

Question

I am trying to create an event receiver for a list I have created called Questions.

When a new question is added I want an event to fire. I have looked into it so I know I need to create an event receiver and make use of the ItemAdded method.

How do I bind this to one instance of a list and what do I select for the Source type when creating the receiver? I don't have an option for "Custom List" in there as some blog posts suggest.

Hope someone can help..

I think this might be what you're after: (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff407249.aspx)

using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://localhost")) 
{
    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
    {
        SPList list = web.Lists["Shared Documents"];

        SPEventReceiverDefinition def = list.EventReceivers.Add();

        def.Assembly = "ERDefinition, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=704f58d28567dc00";
        def.Class = "ERDefinition.ItemEvents";
        def.Name = "ItemAdded Event";
        def.Type = SPEventReceiverType.ItemAdded;
        def.SequenceNumber = 1000;
        def.Synchronization = SPEventReceiverSynchronization.Synchronous;
        def.Update();
    }
}
