ProvideDesignerMetadataAttribute.IsGlobal Property
Gets or sets the scope of the metadata modifications provided by an instance ProvideDesignerMetadataAttribute
Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Design
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Design (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Design.dll)
Syntax
'Declaração
Public Property IsGlobal As Boolean
public bool IsGlobal { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: System.Boolean
If the value is true, the scope is global: the modification is applied to all instances of the run time type specified in the ProvideDesignerMetadataAttribute constructor.
If the value is false, the scope is local: the modification is applied to all instances of the run time type specified in the ProvideDesignerMetadataAttribute constructor created on the design surface provided by the current VSPackage.
Remarks
At the present time, the design surface only supports creating components, and therefore only components can have local metadata. In the example above, we were attempting to modify a property, such as the Color property of an object. If IsGlobal is set to false , CustomBrowser would never appear because the designer never actually creates an instance of Color. Setting IsGlobal to false is useful for components, such as controls, timers, and dialog boxes.
