Methods

	Name	Description
	AddOptionKey	Adds a user option key name into the list of option keys.
	CreateInstance	Creates the specified COM object using the Visual Studio's local registry CLSID object.
	CreateTool	Enables derived classes to provide an implementation if necessary.
	CreateToolWindow	Creates a tool window of the specified type with the specified ID.
	Dispose	Releases the resources used by the Package object.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	FindToolWindow	Gets the tool window corresponding to the specified type and ID.
	FindWindowPane
	GetAutomationObject	Gets the automation object for the VSPackage.
	GetDialogPage	Gets the requested dialog page.
	GetGlobalService	Gets a service proffered globally by Visual Studio or one of its packages. This is the same as calling GetService() on an instance of a package that proffers no services itself.
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetOutputPane	Gets the requested output window.
	GetProviderLocale	Returns the locale associated with this service provider.
	GetService	Gets type-based services from the VSPackage service container.
	GetToolboxItemData
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	Initialize	Called when the VSPackage is loaded by Visual Studio.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	OnLoadOptions	Invoked by the package class when there are options to be read out of the solution file.
	OnSaveOptions	Invoked by the Package class when there are options to be saved to the solution file.
	ParseToolboxResource(TextReader, Guid)	Parses an embedded text resource of appropriate format for information about which items should be added to the Toolbox.
	ParseToolboxResource(TextReader, ResourceManager)	Parses an embedded text resource of appropriate format for information about which items should be added to the Toolbox.
	QueryClose	Called to ask the package if the shell can be closed.
	RegisterEditorFactory	Registers an editor factory with Visual Studio.
	RegisterProjectFactory	Registers a project factory with Visual Studio.
	ShowOptionPage	Displays a specified tools options page.
	ToString	Returns a String that represents the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)

	ApplicationRegistryRoot	Gets the root registry key of the current Visual Studio registry hive.
	UserDataPath	Gets the path to user data storage for Visual Studio.
	UserLocalDataPath	Gets the path to local user data storage for Visual Studio.
	UserRegistryRoot	Gets a registry key that can be used to store user data.
	Zombied	Gets a value indicating whether the package in the process of shutdown.
