The DesignSurfaceExtensionAttribute type exposes the following members.

Constructors

  Name Description
Public method DesignSurfaceExtensionAttribute Creates a new instance of the DesignSurfaceExtensionAttribute class specifying a given object as providing a VSPackage's implementation of DesignSurfaceExtension.

Properties

  Name Description
Public property ExtensionType The Type of the object registered as providing a VSPackage with an implementation of DesignSurfaceExtension to customize design surfaces.
Public property LoadAtIdle Controls when, relative to the loading of a designer used by a VSPackage, the extensions provided by the implementation of the DesignSurfaceExtensionAttribute registered by DesignSurfaceExtensionAttribute are installed.
Public property TypeId Gets the current instance of this attribute. (Inherited from RegistrationAttribute.)

Methods

  Name Description
Public method Equals Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method GetHashCode Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method IsDefaultAttribute When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method Match When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method Register Registers the design surface extension. (Overrides RegistrationAttribute.Register(RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext).)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Unregister Removes the design surface extension registry key. (Overrides RegistrationAttribute.Unregister(RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext).)

Explicit Interface Implementations

  Name Description
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method _Attribute.GetIDsOfNames Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method _Attribute.GetTypeInfo Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method _Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method _Attribute.Invoke Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.)

Remarks

Attribute Context

Applies to

Classes providing VSPackages by implementing the IVsPackage interface or the Package interface.

Repeatable

No

Required attributes

An instance each of ProvideObjectAttribute and ProvideServiceAttribute constructed with the Type of the class registered by the DesignSurfaceExtensionAttribute as implementing the DesignSurfaceExtension.

Invalid attributes

None

This Attribute specifies a Type as implementing a service providing customization or extension of the services provided by any implementation of DesignSurface used by the VSPackage.

DesignSurfaceExtensionAttribute is only used for registration purposes and does not affect how code behaves at runtime.

Instances of this Attribute should only be applied to classes implementing Package for a VSPackage.

Examples

The example below declares that the VSPackage CustomDesigner, provided the class CustomSurfaceExt to customize the design surface it uses.

[ProvideServiceAttribute(typeof(CustomSurfaceExt))]
[ProvideObjectAttribute(typeof(CustomSurfaceExt))]
[DesignSurfaceExtension(typeof(CustomSurfaceExt))] 
class CustomDesigner : Package 

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
