	GetHashCode	Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	GetPackageRegKeyPath	Gets the registry path (relative to the registry root of the application) of the VSPackage. (Inherited from RegistrationAttribute.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IsDefaultAttribute	When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	Match	When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Register	Registers this attribute using the specified registry context. (Overrides RegistrationAttribute.Register(RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext).)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Unregister	Removes this attribute from the registry using the specified registry context. (Overrides RegistrationAttribute.Unregister(RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext).)

Explicit Interface Implementations

	Name	Description
	_Attribute.GetIDsOfNames	Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute.GetTypeInfo	Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount	Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute.Invoke	Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.)

Remarks

The ProvideGlobalObjectProviderAttribute is placed on a package class to declare that it contains one or more classes derived from GlobalObjectProvider. This attribute is only used for registration purposes and does not affect how code behaves when it is executed.

The managed VSPackage registration tool (RegPkg.exe) (see VSPackage Registration) uses this attribute to add registration information about the global object provider so that it is available to design-time tools. You can create the same entries programmatically by calling the Register method.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
