Retrieves a VSPackage's configuration using the Visual Studio settings mechanism when a user selects the import option of the Import/Export Settings feature on the IDE’s Tools menu.

abstract member ImportSettings : string * Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsSettingsReader * uint32 * int -> int

Public Function ImportSettings (pszCategoryGUID As String, pSettings As IVsSettingsReader, flags As UInteger, ByRef pfRestartRequired As Integer) As Integer

Parameters

pszCategoryGUID: String

[in] GUID identifying the group of settings to be imported. This is the identify GUID of the Custom Settings Point. For more information on Custom Settings Points see Registering Settings Persistence Support.

pSettings: IVsSettingsReader

[in]An IVsSettingsWriter interface provided by the environment to the VSPackage providing read access to the Visual Studio settings file.

flags: UInt32

[in] Flag from the system indicating how an implementation of ImportSettings(String, IVsSettingsReader, UInt32, Int32) is supposed to process retrieved settings.The supported values of that are members of the __UserSettingsFlags enumeration.

pfRestartRequired: Int32

[out] Flag returned to the environment indicating if a restart of the IDE is required to complete environment reconfiguration based on retrieved data. If the value returned by pfRestartRequired is true, the environment should be restarted.

Returns

Int32

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Examples

In this example, the implementation of ImportSettings chooses between two different methods of retrieving data depending on the pszCategoryGUID argument.

In the example, the handling of __UserSettingsFlags based flags is also shown.

Remarks

A single VSPackage can support more than one Custom Settings Point (settings category). Therefore, implementations of ImportSettings must check the category GUID passed in and choose the correct mechanism for retrieving the state specified by particular Custom Settings Point.

The settings information is contained in XML files. These manually editable XML files can suffer corruption on disk, may contain version-specific settings, and could be used as a vehicle for malicious attack. Therefore, validation of inputs is important as part of retrieving settings configuration data.

If invalidate is found, an implementation of ImportSettings can use the IDE to automatically prompt the user through the ReportError method.

The Visual Studio IDE itself prompts users to restart Visual Studio when a VSPackage implementing ImportSettings indicates that the Visual Studio environment needs to be restarted following the import of settings data by returning pfRestartRequired with a value of true. There is no need to implement either a user dialog or a shutdown of Visual Studio.
