IExplorerNodeTypeDefinition Interface

Definition

Defines the behavior of a new type of node in the SharePoint Connections hierarchy of nodes in Server Explorer.

public interface class IExplorerNodeTypeDefinition : Microsoft::VisualStudio::SharePoint::Explorer::IExplorerNodeEvents, Microsoft::VisualStudio::SharePoint::IAnnotatedObject
public interface IExplorerNodeTypeDefinition : Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.Explorer.IExplorerNodeEvents, Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.IAnnotatedObject
type IExplorerNodeTypeDefinition = interface

Remarks

To create a new type of node, implement the IExplorerNodeTypeProvider interface. In your implementation of the InitializeType method, you can use properties and events of the IExplorerNodeTypeDefinition parameter to define the behavior of your new node type. For more information, see How to: Add a Custom SharePoint Node to Server Explorer.

Each type of node is initialized by exactly one IExplorerNodeTypeDefinition object.
