IDTExtensibility2.OnBeginShutdown Method
Occurs whenever the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE) shuts down while an add-in is running.
Namespace: Extensibility
Assembly: Extensibility (in Extensibility.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Sub OnBeginShutdown ( _
ByRef custom As Array _
)
void OnBeginShutdown(
ref Array custom
)
void OnBeginShutdown(
[InAttribute] Array^% custom
)
abstract OnBeginShutdown :
custom:Array byref -> unit
function OnBeginShutdown(
custom : Array
)
Parameters
- custom
Type: System.Array%
An empty array that you can use to pass host-specific data for use in the add-in.
Remarks
Although a shutdown of Visual Studio might be canceled, the OnBeginShutdown method cannot be canceled. As a result, add-ins should assume that all shutdown events occur and perform any cleanup routines accordingly.
This method can be used to store the settings of the add-in at the time that Visual Studio shuts down so that it can be restored later to its original state.
Examples
Public Sub OnBeginShutdown(ByRef custom As Array) Implements _
IDTExtensibility2.OnBeginShutdown
MsgBox("Place cleanup code here.")
End Sub
public void OnBeginShutdown(ref Array custom)
{
// Place cleanup code here.
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Shutting down Visual
Studio");
}
