    Cookie As Integer _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As IExtenderSite 
Dim Cookie As Integer

instance.NotifyDelete(Cookie)
void NotifyDelete(
    int Cookie
)
void NotifyDelete(
    [InAttribute] int Cookie

)

Parameters

  • Cookie
    Type: System.Int32

    Required. The cookie identifying the extender. This is passed to the extender provider when it is asked for the extender.

Remarks

Warning

The extender manager maintains an internal cache of extender objects, and must be notified when they are being destroyed. You must call NotifyDelete immediately upon destroying extender objects. You must not wait for the application to become idle, because other Visual Studio components may try to access the destroyed extender object before you call the method. If this happens, Visual Studio may crash.
