An abstract class for VSPackage registration. The RegistrationAttribute class allows new registration information to be added without changing the registration tools.

Remarks
When to Implement
Derive a registration attribute from RegistrationAttribute to create a class that makes specialized registry entries when applied to your Package-derived class or a class that implements IVsPackage.
Basic Usage
Attribute classes that provide VSPackage registration information. Regpkg.exe or other registration tools must derive from and implement RegistrationAttribute. For more information, see Registering VSPackages.
RegistrationAttribute is an abstract attribute class that enables VSPackage developers to add registration attribute classes without needing to change the registration tools.
Attribute classes that provide registration information to regpkg.exe or other registration tools must derive from RegistrationAttribute, and must implement the Register and Unregister abstract methods.
Registration tools such as regpkg.exe must implement the classes RegistrationAttribute.Key and RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext.
Constructors
| RegistrationAttribute() |
Initializes a new instance of the class. |
Properties
| TypeId |
Override the TypeID property in order to let the RegistrationAttribute derived classes to work with System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.GetAttributes(...). An attribute derived from this one will have to override this property only if it needs a better control on the instances that can be applied to a class. |
Methods
| GetPackageRegKeyPath(Guid) |
Gets the registry path (relative to the registry root of the application) of the VSPackage. |
| Register(RegistrationAttribute+RegistrationContext) |
Registers this VSPackage with a given context, when called by an external registration tool such as regpkg.exe. For more information, see Registering VSPackages. |
| Unregister(RegistrationAttribute+RegistrationContext) |
Called to unregister this attribute with the given context. |
