Constructors

ExtensionPointPackage()

Initializes a new instance of the ExtensionPointPackage class.

Properties

ApplicationRegistryRoot

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

(Inherited from Package)
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)

(Inherited from Package)

Methods

AddOptionKey(String)

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

(Inherited from Package)
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)
