Remarks
The smallest unit a library can browse is referred to as a Browse Container. A library typically browses one type of Browse Container. Each project type implements one, and possibly more, libraries to track its symbols, objects, and so on. The package's IVsLibraryMgr tracks these libraries.
Libraries may be project specific, or global. Global libraries provide information on browse containers that are not a part of any project, but are added by a user through the Add Reference dialog. For more details on libraries and their relationship to the object browser see Object Browser and Class View.
See illustrations of the implementation and/or calling of this interface in the sample My C Package.
Notes to Implementers:
The IVsLibrary2 interface is implemented when you want to provide object browsing.
Note
Managed code implementations should implement the IVsSimpleLibrary2 interface instead to avoid memory leaks.
Notes to Callers:
This interface is passed to the RegisterLibrary method in the IVsObjectManager2 interface. This interface can then be returned by a call to the FindLibrary method in the IVsObjectManager2 interface.
