Methods

  Name Description
Public method Equals Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Protected method GetPackageRegKeyPath Gets the registry path (relative to the registry root of the application) of the VSPackage. (Inherited from RegistrationAttribute.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method IsDefaultAttribute When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method Match When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Register Registers the toolbox item configuration. (Overrides RegistrationAttribute.Register(RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext).)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Unregister Removes the registry key. (Overrides RegistrationAttribute.Unregister(RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext).)

Explicit Interface Implementations

  Name Description
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method _Attribute.GetIDsOfNames Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method _Attribute.GetTypeInfo Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method _Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method _Attribute.Invoke Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.)

Remarks

Attribute Context

Applies to

Classes providing VSPackages by implementing IVsPackage, Package.

Repeatable

No

Required attributes

ProvideAssemblyFilterAttribute (applied to the class implementing IConfigureToolboxItem.

Invalid attributes

None

A specific instance of ProvideToolboxItemConfigurationAttribute is defined for each instance of IConfigureToolboxItem.

When this attribute is applied to a class that implements IVsPackage or Package, it informs Visual Studio that this VSPackage supplies an implementation of IConfigureToolboxItem.

A VSPackage can have more than one instance of ProvideToolboxItemConfigurationAttribute applied to it.

Examples

In the example below, the Package ItemConfiguration implementation is registered as providing the class ToolboxConfig to support an implementation of IConfigureToolboxItem.

using MSVSIP = Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;
 [assembly:ComVisible(true)]

namespace Vsip.ItemConfiguration
{
    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    // Walkthrough1
    [MSVSIP.ProvideToolboxItemsAttribute(110)]
    [MSVSIP.DefaultRegistryRoot("Software\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\8.0")]
    [MSVSIP.InstalledProductRegistration(100, 102, "1.0", IconResId = 400)]
    [MSVSIP.RegisterLoadKey("Standard", "1.0", "Package Name", "Company", 1)]
    [MSVSIP.ProvideMenuResource(1000, 1)]
    [ProvideToolboxItemConfigurationAttribute(typeof(ToolboxConfig))]
    [GuidAttribute("XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX")]
    public class ItemConfiguration : MSVSIP.Package 

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
