Remarks

RegPkg.exe uses C# reflection to determine the attributes that modify your assembly-implemented package. RegPkg.exe then evaluates each attribute by using information that is specific to the current installation, and then creates registry entries that describe the package to Visual Studio. If your class inherits from the Managed Package Framework (MPF) class Package, this attribute is already included. If you create your own class that implements IVsPackage, manually modify your class by using one PackageRegistrationAttribute or the package will not load.

Constructors

PackageRegistrationAttribute()

Initializes an instance of this attribute.

Properties

AllowsBackgroundLoading	Package is safe to load on a background thread.
RegisterUsing	Gets or sets the method of registration.
SatellitePath	To specify a resource dll located in a different location then the default, set this property. This can be useful if your package is installed in the GAC. If this is not set, the directory where the package is located will be use. Note that the dll should be located at the following path: SatellitePath\lcid\PackageDllNameUI.dll
TypeId	Gets the current instance of this attribute. (Inherited from RegistrationAttribute)
UseManagedResourcesOnly	For managed resources, there should not be a native ui dll registered.

Methods

GetPackageRegKeyPath(Guid)	Gets the registry path (relative to the registry root of the application) of the VSPackage. (Inherited from RegistrationAttribute)
Register(RegistrationAttribute+RegistrationContext)	Creates registry entries that correspond to the value of this attribute.
Unregister(RegistrationAttribute+RegistrationContext)	Removes attribute-specific registry entries.
