Microsoft.VisualStudio.Extensibility Namespace

Classes

ActivationConstraint	Describes a context-based activation rule.
BrokeredServiceConfiguration	The configuration of a brokered service implementation.
ClientContext	Provides functionality for accessing client context JSON blob in a structured method.
ClientContextKey.Shell	Shell client context keys.
CompileTimeEvaluationAttribute	An attribute used to mark that a property is evaluated at compile time and represents the configuration of an IVisualStudioContributionClass. Alternatively it is used on types that implement IVisualStudioContributionProperty and are used to define static properties marked with VisualStudioContributionAttribute, which are also evaluated at compile time. This is used by the VisualStudio.Extensibility libraries for documentation purposes and it's not meant to be used directly by extenders.
ConfigurationExtensibility	Provides the surface area for configuration and extension state management.
DefaultJsonServiceFactory	Constructs services registered in an extension based on the descriptors in metadata. This default factory uses either the service moniker name as the type name, or type information from ServiceFactoryRegistrationAttribute attribute and creates an instance using dependency injection (TBD) and uses JSON serialization.
DefaultMessagePackServiceFactory	Constructs services registered in an extension based on the descriptors in metadata. This default factory uses either the service moniker name as the type name, or type information from ServiceFactoryRegistrationAttribute attribute and creates an instance using dependency injection and uses MessagePack serialization.
DiagnosticsExtensionMethods	Provides functionality for extending Visual Studio through brokered services for Language Services.
DocumentExtensions	Extension methods for DocumentSnapshot objects.
DocumentFilter	Describes an applicability condition based on the type or path of a document.
DocumentsExtensibility	Provides the surface area for document management.
ExperimentalFeatures	VisualStudio.Extensibility experimental features diagnostic codes.
ExtensibilityPoint	Provides functionality for extending Visual Studio through brokered services.
ExtensibilityPoints	Helper extension methods.
Extension	Base class for an extension that can host multiple service instances.
ExtensionConfiguration	The configuration of an Extension class.
ExtensionContractAttribute	Contains additional information about an extension part contract, specifically around wrapping type.
ExtensionCore	Base class for an extension that can host multiple service instances. This class is intended for internal use only, extension developers should instead inherit from Microsoft.VisualStudio.Extensibility.Extension.
ExtensionMetadata	Descriptive information about the extension.
ExtensionMethods	Extension methods for IClientContext.
ExtensionPart	Base class for services or parts to be returned from service factories.
ExtensionPartAttribute	An attribute used to mark an interface or a class extending ExtensionPart.
ExtensionPartServiceFactory	A base service factory class for extension parts that allow customization of the service descriptor.
ImageMoniker.KnownValues	Well-known ImageMoniker values for images supplied with the Visual Studio image catalog.
ServiceFactoryRegistrationAttribute	Describes a mapping from service moniker to internal service factory type and extension part instance type.
ServiceHubServiceMoniker	A record for a brokered service moniker.
SettingsExtensibility	Provides the surface area for settings.
SnapshotVersionNotAvailableException	An exception that indicates snapshot version is not available to operate on.
VisualStudioContributionAttribute	An attribute used to contribute VisualStudio.Extensibility components from the extension and allow Visual Studio to consume them. This attribute can be applied to types that extend an abstract class which implements IVisualStudioContributionClass or on properties of a type that implements IVisualStudioContributionProperty.
VisualStudioExtensibility	Provides functionality for extending Visual Studio through brokered services.
VisualStudioExtensibilityExtensions	Editor provided extension methods for acquiring VS extensibility points.
WorkspacesExtensibility	Provides functionality for extending Visual Studio workspaces.
WorkspacesExtensionMethods	Container for client context at the time of a command invocation.

Structs

ClientContextCategory	Client context categories to be used in ClientContexts.
ClientContextKey	Client context keys to be used in ClientContext(ClientContextKey, String).
ImageMoniker	Image monikers for images supplied by the extension or by the Visual Studio image catalog.
ProjectCapability	Project capability to be used in SolutionHasProjectCapability(ProjectCapability).

Interfaces

IClientContext	Container for client context at the time of a command invocation.
IClientContextPrivate	Container for client context at the time of a command invocation.
IServiceFactory	Constructs services registered in an extension based on the descriptors in metadata.
IVisualStudioContributionClass	Extenders can extend types implementing IVisualStudioContributionClass and mark their class with VisualStudioContributionAttribute to allow it to be consumed by Visual Studio. This interface is meant to be implemented by abstract classes provided by the VisualStudio.Extensibility libraries, extenders shouldn't implement this interface directly.
IVisualStudioContributionProperty	Types implementing IVisualStudioContributionProperty can be used to create static properties marked with VisualStudioContributionAttribute which allows them to define metadata for the extension that is consumed by Visual Studio. This interface is meant to be implemented by types provided by the VisualStudio.Extensibility libraries, extenders shouldn't implement this interace directly.

Enums

BrokeredServiceAudience	The intended audience for a brokered service registered via BrokeredServiceConfiguration.
SolutionState	Solution state values to be used in SolutionState(SolutionState).
VisualStudioArchitecture	Architectures supported by Visual Studio.

Delegates

ExtensionCore.ProfferedServiceFactory

A delegate that creates new instances of a brokered service that is proffered via ProfferService.
