Syntax
<AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple := True)> _
Public NotInheritable Class ProvideGlobalObjectProviderAttribute _
Inherits RegistrationAttribute
Dim instance As ProvideGlobalObjectProviderAttribute
[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple = true)]

public ref class ProvideGlobalObjectProviderAttribute sealed : public RegistrationAttribute
public final class ProvideGlobalObjectProviderAttribute extends RegistrationAttribute
Remarks
The ProvideGlobalObjectProviderAttribute is placed on a package class to declare that it contains one or more classes derived from GlobalObjectProvider. This attribute is only used for registration purposes and does not affect how code behaves when it is executed.
The managed VSPackage registration tool (RegPkg.exe) (see How to: Register Managed VSPackages) uses this attribute to add registration information about the global object provider so that it is available to design-time tools. You can create the same entries programmatically by calling the Register method.
