Remarks
When to Call
Apply this attribute to your VSPackage class to provide information that is displayed on the Visual Studio splash screen and the Help About dialog box.
Basic Usage
Create an InstalledProductRegistrationAttribute object to register your VSPackage with the Help About dialog box. The different constructors provide the options to use the IVsInstalledProduct interface (as implemented by the package) to gather the information and display it on the Visual Studio splash screen. To use this attribute, place it on your VSPackage class (a class derived from Package or one that implements IVsPackage).
This attribute is used only to provide data for external registration tools like regpkg.exe. It does not have any effect on the runtime behavior of the VSPackage. For more information, see VSPackage Registration.
Note
Visual C# automatically appends the word Attribute to the name of any attribute class. In Visual C# code, refer to this attribute as InstalledProductRegistration.
Registry Entries
The following registry entries are created by InstalledProductRegistrationAttribute:
<VSROOT>\CLSID\{PackageGuid}
<VSROOT>\CLSID\{PackageGuid}\@=ObjectType.FullName
<VSROOT>\CLSID\{PackageGuid}\InprocServer32=mscoree.dll
<VSROOT>\CLSID\{PackageGuid}\Class=ObjectType.FullName
<VSROOT>\CLSID\{PackageGuid}\Assembly=ObjectType.Assembly.FullName
<VSROOT>\CLSID\{PackageGuid}\ThreadingModel=Both
<VSROOT>\CLSID\{PackageGuid}\CodeBase=context.CodeBase
<VSROOT>\CLSID\{PackageGuid}\SatelliteDll
<VSROOT>\CLSID\{PackageGuid}\SatelliteDll\Path=SatelliteDllPath
<VSROOT>\CLSID\{PackageGuid}\SatelliteDll\DllName=SatelliteDllName
Samples
The standard location for this and all other attributes used for automatic registration is adjacent to the implementation of the Package in VsPkg.cs, VsPkg.vb, or VsPkg.cpp, depending on the language used in the sample.
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.
