Parameters
objectType
Type: TypeThe Type of the class implementing Visual Studio settings support.
categoryName
Type: StringThe canonical, nonlocalized name of a Visual Studio settings category.
objectName
Type: StringThe canonical, nonlocalized name used to identify the object implementing a Visual Studio settings category.
categoryResourceID
Type: Int16The localized resource ID of a Visual Studio settings category's name.
objectNameResourceID
Type: Int16The localized resource ID of the name used to identify the object implementing a Visual Studio settings category.
isToolsOptionPage
Type: BooleanThis argument is not implemented.
Remarks
The ProvideProfileAttribute constructor uses the GUID obtained from objectType to uniquely identify a Custom Settings Point's Visual Studio settings category.
If isToolsOptionPage is true,the ProvideOptionPageAttribute must also be applied to the VSPackage.
Custom Settings Points are created within a registry entry containing the canonical name of the form <CategoryName>_<ObjectName>.
The registry key is found under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<Version>\UserSettings where <Version> is the version of Visual Studio, for example 8.0.
The registry entry under <CategoryName>_<ObjectName> is of the form:
<CategoryName>_<ObjectName>
<CategoryName>_<ObjectName>\@=#<ObjectNameResourceID>
<CategoryName>_<ObjectName>\Package=<Package>
<CategoryName>_<ObjectName>\Category=<ObjectTypeGuid>
<CategoryName>_<ObjectName>\AlternateParent =<CategoryName>
Note
The last entry above (<CategoryName>_<ObjectName>\AlternateParent) is created only if isToolsOptionPage is true.
Examples
The example below shows the registration of two classes providing Visual Studio settings, one of which (DesignerOptionsPage) provides Tools Options page support. The Package and category GUIDs are obtained by the attribute by reflection.
The Custom Settings Point for the page named "DesignerOptionsPage" are:
MyDesigner_OptionPage
MyDesigner_OptionPage\@=#1003
MyDesigner_OptionPage\Package={"XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"}
MyDesigner_OptionPage\Category={"YYYYYYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYYYYYYYYYY"}
MyDesigner_OptionPage\AlternateParent =MyDesigner
Note
The last entry above, (UserSettings\MyDesigner_OptionPage\AlternateParent), is present because isToolsOptionPage is true.
The Custom Settings Point for the page named "PersistCurrentDesign" are:
MyDesigner_CurrentDesign
MyDesigner_CurrentDesign\@=#1005>
MyDesigner_CurrentDesign\Package={"XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"}
MyDesigner_CurrentDesign\Category={"ZZZZZZZZ-ZZZZ-ZZZZ-ZZZZ-ZZZZZZZZZZZZ"}>
Note
There is no (MyDesigner_ObjectName>\AlternateParent) because isToolsOptionPage is false.
The sample code below illustrates how DesignerOptionsPage is registered using the ProvideProfileAttribute.
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;
namespace Example
{
[DefaultRegistryRoot("Software\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\8.0")]
[ProvideOptionPage(typeof(DesignerOptionsPage), "MyDesigner", "OptionPage", 1000, 1001, true)]
[ProvideProfileAttribute(typeof(DesignerOptionsPage), "MyDesigner", "OptionPage", 1002, 1003, true)]
[ProvideProfileAttribute(typeof(PersistCurrentDesign), "MyDesigner","CurrentDesign", 1004, 1005, false)]
[Guid("XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX")]
public class MyPackage : Package
{
//Implementation here
}
[Guid("YYYYYYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYYYYYYYYYY")]
internal class DesignerOptionsPage: DialogPage {
//Implementation here
}
[Guid("ZZZZZZZZ-ZZZZ-ZZZZ-ZZZZ-ZZZZZZZZZZZZ")]
internal class PersisteDesignerState: IProfileManager {
//Implementation here
