PackageRegistrationAttribute Class
Modify your class that implements IVsPackage with this attribute so that the registration tool regpkg.exe will look for additional attributes. For more information, see How to: Register Managed VSPackages.
Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.dll)
Syntax
<AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class, Inherited := True, AllowMultiple := False)> _
Public NotInheritable Class PackageRegistrationAttribute _
Inherits RegistrationAttribute
Dim instance As PackageRegistrationAttribute
[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class, Inherited = true, AllowMultiple = false)]
public sealed class PackageRegistrationAttribute : RegistrationAttribute
[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets::Class, Inherited = true, AllowMultiple = false)]
public ref class PackageRegistrationAttribute sealed : public RegistrationAttribute
public final class PackageRegistrationAttribute extends RegistrationAttribute
Remarks
The tool regpkg.exe uses C# reflection to determine the attributes that modify your assembly-implemented package. The regpkg.exe tool then evaluates each attribute with information specific to the current installation and creates registry entries that describe the package to Visual Studio. If your class inherits from the Managed Package Framework class Package this attribute is already included. If you create your own class that implements IVsPackage, be sure to manually modify your class with one PackageRegistrationAttribute or the package will not load.
