Examples
Here is a simple example of an implementation of this interface.
using Microsoft.VisualStudio;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop;
namespace MyLanguagePackage
{
class MyLanguageService : IVsLanguageInfo
{
public int GetCodeWindowManager(IVsCodeWindow pCodeWin,
out IVsCodeWindowManager ppCodeWinMgr)
{
// MyCodeWindowManager class implements IVsCodeWindowManager.
ppCodeWinMgr = new MyCodeWindowManager(pCodeWin);
return VSConstants.S_OK;
}
public int GetColorizer(IVsTextLines pBuffer
out IVsColorizer ppColorizer)
{
// MyColorizer implements IVsColorizer
ppColorizer = new MyColorizer(pBuffer);
return VSConstants.S_OK;
}
public int GetFileExtensions(out string pbstrExtensions)
{
// This is the same extension the language service was
// registered as supporting.
pbstrExtensions = ".myext";
return VSConstants.S_OK;
}
public int GetLanguageName(out string bstrName)
{
// This is the same name the language service was
// registered with.
bstrName = "MyLanguage";
return VSConstants.S_OK;
}
}
