Properties

ApplicationRegistryRoot	Gets the root registry key of the current Visual Studio registry hive. (Inherited from Package)
DisposalToken	Exposes a CancellationToken that can be used to check if the package has been disposed. This can happen for async tasks that are running on a background thread when Visual Studio has started to shut down. Use ShutdownToken for an earlier indication that VS is shutting down.
JoinableTaskCollection	Gets the collection of asynchronous tasks started by this package.
JoinableTaskFactory	Gets the factory to use for asynchronous tasks started by this package.
UserDataPath	Gets the path to user data storage for Visual Studio. (Inherited from Package)
UserLocalDataPath	Returns the path to user data storage for Visual Studio. Typically this is %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data Visual Studio[ver] but this can change based on any alternate root that the shell was initialized with. (Inherited from Package)
UserRegistryRoot	Returns the registry root for the current user. Typically this is HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio[ver] but this can change based on any alternate root that the shell is initialized with. This key is read-write. (Inherited from Package)
Zombied	Gets a value indicating whether the package in the process of shutdown. (Inherited from Package)

Methods

AddOptionKey(String)	Adds a user option key name into the list of option keys. (Inherited from Package)
AddService(Type, AsyncServiceCreatorCallback, Boolean)	Adds an async service to this package, specifying whether the service will be visible outside of this package.
AddService(Type, AsyncServiceCreatorCallback)	Adds an async service to this package. The service will not be visible outside of this package.
AddService(Type, AsyncServiceCreatorWithProgressCallback, Boolean)	Adds an async service to this package that supports progress updates during initialization. This service may or may not be visible outside of this package, depending on the value of promote.
AddService(Type, AsyncServiceCreatorWithProgressCallback)	Adds an async service that supports progress updates during initialization to this package. The service will not be visible outside of this package.
CreateInstance(Guid, Guid, Type)	Create the specified COM object using Visual Studio's ILocalRegistry and cast it to the given managed type. If VS cannot create it, then fall back to Activator.CreateInstance. This allows managed classes to be registered in local to the particular VS version in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\clsid. (Inherited from Package)
CreateSettingsObserverAsync(Type, SettingsObserverArguments, CancellationToken)	Creates a settings observer object for the package. This method is called when unified settings are active, but only if the package has one or more ProvideSettingsObserverAttributes. (Inherited from Package)
CreateTool(Guid)	Enables derived classes to provide an implementation if necessary. (Inherited from Package)
CreateToolWindow(Guid, Int32)	Creates a tool window of the specified type with the specified ID. (Inherited from Package)
CreateToolWindow(Type, Int32, Object)	Create a tool window of the specified type with the specified ID. (Inherited from Package)
CreateToolWindow(Type, Int32, UInt32, Object, Guid)	Create a tool window of the specified type with the specified ID. This is the only method that should be calling IVsUiShell.CreateToolWindow() (Inherited from Package)
CreateToolWindow(Type, Int32, UInt32)	Creates a tool window of the specified type with the specified ID. (Inherited from Package)
CreateToolWindow(Type, Int32)	Creates a tool window of the specified type with the specified ID. (Inherited from Package)

FindToolWindow(Type, Int32, Boolean)	Gets the tool window corresponding to the specified type and ID. (Inherited from Package)
FindToolWindowAsync(Type, Int32, Boolean, CancellationToken)	Asynchronously locates the tool window corresponding to the specified type and ID. If it does not exist, it creates and returns one if create is true, or returns null if create is false.
FindWindowPane(Type, Int32, Boolean)	Gets the window pane corresponding to the specified type and ID, and if no window pane of that type exists creates one if told to do so. (Inherited from Package)
FindWindowPaneAsync(Type, Int32, Boolean, CancellationToken)	Asynchronously locates the window pane corresponding to the specified type and ID. If it does not exist, it creates and returns one if create is true, or returns null if create is false.
GetAsyncToolWindowFactory(Guid)	Returns the asynchronous tool window factory interface for the tool window identified by toolWindowType, if asynchronous creation is supported for the tool window. If asynchronous creation is not supported, null is returned.
GetAutomationObject(String)	Gets the automation object for the VSPackage. (Inherited from Package)

GetService(Type)	Retrieves a service registered with this package synchronously, falling back to the asynchronous GlobalProvider and synchronous GlobalProvider if there is no service with this identity registered with the package.
GetServiceAsync(Type, Boolean)	Retrieves an async service registered with this package asynchronously, falling back to the asynchronous GlobalProvider and synchronous GlobalProvider if there is no service with this identity registered with the package. It also allows specifying a hint whether to throw an exception if it could not be retrieved, it does not, however, guarantee exceptions will be thrown for all failure cases.
GetServiceAsync(Type)	Retrieves an async service registered with this package asynchronously, falling back to the asynchronous GlobalProvider and synchronous GlobalProvider if there is no service with this identity registered with the package.
GetServiceAsync<TService,TInterface>(Boolean, CancellationToken)	Retrieves an async service registered with this package asynchronously, falling back to the asynchronous GlobalProvider and synchronous GlobalProvider if there is no service with this identity registered with the package. It also allows specifying whether to throw an exception if it could not be retrieved.
GetToolboxItemData(String, DataFormats+Format)	Gets the content of the data format for the specified toolbox item ID and data format. (Inherited from Package)
GetToolboxItemDataAsync(String, DataFormats+Format)	(Inherited from Package)
GetToolWindowTitle(Type, Int32)	Returns the title string to use for the tool window. If null is returned, the tool window's type name is used for the title.
Initialize()	Seal this method. Due to an almost unavoidable risk of deadlock, SetSite (which is what calls Initialize) still occurs on the UI thread even for async package. Since most async package authors would, logically, assume that Initialize happens on a b/g thread they may do expensive (synchronous) things inside of their override, defeating some of the benefit of async loads. To help lead them away from that we will seal it and thus all they can override is async initialize, which is called on the b/g thread.
InitializeAsync(CancellationToken, IProgress<ServiceProgressData>)	When overridden in a derived class, asynchronously initializes the package. This method is invoked from a background thread.
InitializeToolWindowAsync(Type, Int32, CancellationToken)	Performs initialization in preparation for creating the tool window identified by toolWindowType.

IsLocalService(Type)	Determines whether the specified service type can be retrieved without requiring an RPC transition to the UI thread. (Inherited from Package)
OnAfterPackageLoadedAsync(CancellationToken)	When overridden by a derived class, may initiate operations with side effects that are not strictly part of package load that would belong to InitializeAsync(CancellationToken, IProgress<ServiceProgressData>) that should happen soon after package load (e.g. updating command status). This method is invoked from a background thread.
OnLoadOptions(String, Stream)	Invoked by the package class when there are options to be read out of the solution file. (Inherited from Package)
OnSaveOptions(String, Stream)	Invoked by the Package class when there are options to be saved to the solution file. (Inherited from Package)
