.xml (VSIX Deployment)

Contains information about the kinds of content in a VSIX package. Extension Manager uses the [Content_Types].xml file to install the package, but it does not install the file itself.

Although this topic applies only to [Content_Type].xml files that are used in VSIX packages, the [Content_Types].xml file type is part of the Open Packaging Conventions (OPC) standard. For more information, see OPC: A New Standard For Packaging Your Data on the MSDN Web site.
