SharePoint Central Feature Management


My 4th open source contribution to Codeplex. Currently I am working on a Project which is product wrapper top of SharePoint. I need to activate almost 20 to 30 feature on every deployment, It takes around 10-15 minute to just activate those feature in Site Collection and Sub Sites. So I created on custom Application Page which will work as a Feature Management.and  thought its nice to contribute on codeplex with that project which can help everyone, following are the screen shots and description  of the Project. Download Source Code
SharePoint Central Feature Management provides the functionality to manage all feature in Site Collection and all Sub Sites from one central location. also allow to Activate or Deactivate multiple feature on Single Click. Also allow user to Activate all dependent feature associated with current feature. Allow you to activate and deactivate hidden feature also.
1. Activate SharePoint Central Feature Management from Site Collection Feature
