Methods

CreateAsync(IServiceProvider, ServiceMoniker, ServiceActivationOptions, IServiceBroker, AuthorizationServiceClient, CancellationToken)	(Inherited from ExtensionCore)
Dispose()	(Inherited from ExtensionCore)
Dispose(Boolean)	Disposes the object. (Inherited from ExtensionCore)
GetFactory(ServiceMoniker)	Gets the service factory for the service moniker requested. (Inherited from ExtensionCore)
GetServiceDescriptor(ServiceMoniker)	(Inherited from ExtensionCore)
InitializeCommandsAsync(CommandSet)	Called when command set is about to be initialized. This can be used to add commands, set up initial state.
InitializeServices(IServiceCollection)	Initializes the service collection used in creating service factories.
OnInitializedAsync(VisualStudioExtensibility, CancellationToken)	Called when extension is initialized to allow for registering components asynchronously. This method will not block extension from returning services such as command sets so any initialization required for service collection should be done in InitializeServices(IServiceCollection) instead. (Inherited from ExtensionCore)
ProfferBrokeredService(BrokeredServiceConfiguration, ServiceRpcDescriptor, ExtensionCore+ProfferedServiceFactory)	Proffers a brokered service using the configuration and provided descriptor. (Inherited from ExtensionCore)
