IVsUserSettings.ImportSettings(String, IVsSettingsReader, UInt32, Int32%)
Remarks
ImportSettings searches the package object looking for ProvideProfileAttribute classes. If the object specified in ProvideProfileAttribute corresponds to the GUID passed into ImportSettings, then the IProfileManager interface of that object is retrieved. If necessary the object implementing IProfileManager is created. If the IProfileManager interface cannot be retrieved, then ImportSettings returns immediately.
If the IProfileManager interface is retrieved, then the object’s LoadSettingsFromXml method is called to import the settings from the IVsSettingsReader passed to it by Visual Studio.
The SaveSettingsToStorage method is then called to immediately store the settings imported.
