PackageRegistrationAttribute Class
Modify your class that implements IVsPackage by using this attribute so that the registration tool, RegPkg.exe, will look for additional attributes. For more information, see Registering VSPackages.

GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) | |
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.) | |
Match | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) | |
Register | Creates registry entries that correspond to the value of this attribute. (Overrides RegistrationAttribute.Register(RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext).) | |
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
Unregister | Removes attribute-specific registry entries. (Overrides RegistrationAttribute.Unregister(RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext).) |

Explicit Interface Implementations
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
_Attribute.GetIDsOfNames | Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.) | |
_Attribute.GetTypeInfo | Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.) | |

Remarks
RegPkg.exe uses C# reflection to determine the attributes that modify your assembly-implemented package. RegPkg.exe then evaluates each attribute by using information that is specific to the current installation, and then creates registry entries that describe the package to Visual Studio. If your class inherits from the Managed Package Framework (MPF) class Package, this attribute is already included. If you create your own class that implements IVsPackage, manually modify your class by using one PackageRegistrationAttribute or the package will not load.
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.
