Constructors

ExtensionPointAsyncPackage()

Properties

ApplicationRegistryRoot

Gets the root registry key of the current Visual Studio registry hive.

(Inherited from Package)
DisposalToken

Exposes a CancellationToken that can be used to check if the package has been disposed. This can happen for async tasks that are running on a background thread when Visual Studio has started to shut down. Use ShutdownToken for an earlier indication that VS is shutting down.

(Inherited from AsyncPackage)
JoinableTaskCollection

Gets the collection of asynchronous tasks started by this package.

(Inherited from AsyncPackage)
JoinableTaskFactory

Gets the factory to use for asynchronous tasks started by this package.

(Inherited from AsyncPackage)
UserDataPath

Gets the path to user data storage for Visual Studio.

(Inherited from Package)
UserLocalDataPath

Returns the path to user data storage for Visual Studio. Typically this is %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data
Visual Studio[ver] but this can change based on any alternate root that the shell was initialized with.

(Inherited from Package)
UserRegistryRoot

Returns the registry root for the current user. Typically this is HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio[ver] but this can change based on any alternate root that the shell is initialized with. This key is read-write.

(Inherited from Package)
Zombied

Gets a value indicating whether the package in the process of shutdown.

(Inherited from Package)

Methods

AddOptionKey(String)

Adds a user option key name into the list of option keys.

(Inherited from Package)
AddService(Type, AsyncServiceCreatorCallback, Boolean)

Adds an async service to this package, specifying whether the service will be visible outside of this package.

(Inherited from AsyncPackage)
AddService(Type, AsyncServiceCreatorCallback)

Adds an async service to this package. The service will not be visible outside of this package.

(Inherited from AsyncPackage)
AddService(Type, AsyncServiceCreatorWithProgressCallback, Boolean)

Adds an async service to this package that supports progress updates during initialization. This service may or may not be visible outside of this package, depending on the value of promote.

(Inherited from AsyncPackage)
AddService(Type, AsyncServiceCreatorWithProgressCallback)

Adds an async service that supports progress updates during initialization to this package. The service will not be visible outside of this package.

(Inherited from AsyncPackage)
CreateCodeContainerProvider(Guid)

Creates a code container provider for the given registered provider Guid.This is called by the base class in response to a request for the ICodeContainer extension point. The base implementation searches for ProvideCodeContainerProviderAttribute attributes on the package class and instantiates the appropriate provider. May be overridden.

CreateDiagnosticsProvider(Guid)

Creates the diagnostics provider for the given registered provider GUID. This is called by the base class in response to a request for the ExtId_VsComponentDiagnostics extension point. The base implementation searches for ProvideComponentDiagnostics attributes on the package class and instantiates the appropriate provider. May be overridden.

CreateExtensionPoint(Guid, Guid)

Called by the base class in order to satisfy a request for an extension point. Extension points are implemented by packages and requested on demand by shared components. This is the reverse of the 'factory' pattern where packages register factories with a central service. The base class implements discovery mechanisms for well-known extension points. Derived classes may override this and optionally call the base class.

CreateExtensionPointProvider<TAttribute,TInterface>(Guid)

Create the extension provider declared with the attribute TAttribute on the package, implementing an extension point of type TInterface

CreateInstance(Guid, Guid, Type)

Create the specified COM object using Visual Studio's ILocalRegistry and cast it to the given managed type. If VS cannot create it, then fall back to Activator.CreateInstance. This allows managed classes to be registered in local to the particular VS version in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\clsid.

(Inherited from Package)
CreateSearchProvider(Guid)

Creates the global search provider for the given registered provider GUID. This is called by the base class in response to a request for the IVsSearchProvider extension point. The base implementation searches for ProvideSearchProvider attributes on the package class and instantiates the appropriate provider. May be overridden.

CreateSettingsObserverAsync(Type, SettingsObserverArguments, CancellationToken)

Creates a settings observer object for the package. This method is called when unified settings are active, but only if the package has one or more ProvideSettingsObserverAttributes.

(Inherited from Package)

Returns the title string to use for the tool window. If null is returned, the tool window's type name is used for the title.

(Inherited from AsyncPackage)
Initialize()

Seal this method. Due to an almost unavoidable risk of deadlock, SetSite (which is what calls Initialize) still occurs on the UI thread even for async package. Since most async package authors would, logically, assume that Initialize happens on a b/g thread they may do expensive (synchronous) things inside of their override, defeating some of the benefit of async loads. To help lead them away from that we will seal it and thus all they can override is async initialize, which is called on the b/g thread.

(Inherited from AsyncPackage)

When overridden in a derived class, asynchronously initializes the package. This method is invoked from a background thread.

This method is invoked from a background thread.
