Definition

Namespace:

Assembly:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.15.0.dll

Determines whether or not the extension should be registered with a EditorFactoryNotify registry value, which associates a file extension with a specific editor factory.

public:
 property bool EditorFactoryNotify { bool get(); void set(bool value); };

public:
 property bool EditorFactoryNotify { bool get(); void set(bool value); };

public bool EditorFactoryNotify { get; set; }

member this.EditorFactoryNotify : bool with get, set

Public Property EditorFactoryNotify As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if the EditorFactoryNotify registry value should be created, otherwise false (the default).

Examples

The following example associates the .myext file extension with the GUID of the Test Editor, so that the project system opens the file with that editor:

[ProvideEditorExtensionAttribute(typeof(TestEditorFactory), ".myext", 32,  
                    ProjectGuid = "{A2FE74E1-B743-11d0-AE1A-00A0C90FFFC3}",  
                    NameResourceID = 105,  
                    DefaultName = "Test Editor",  
                    EditorFactoryNotify = true)]]  

Remarks

If this property is set to true, the Projects\<ProjectGUID>\Extensions\<ExtensionString>\EditorFactoryNotify value points to the editor factory that should handle the file. The constructor ProvideEditorExtensionAttribute sets the value to false by default.
