Remarks
When to Call
Apply this attribute to your Package-derived class or class that implements IVsPackage to register a Package Load Key (PLK).
Basic Usage
Visual Studio requires a Package Load Key in order to validate and load VSPackages provided by third parties regardless of whether the hosting version of Visual Studio has a VSIP license.
Developers can load their own VSPackages without PLK's if they have a valid a VSIP developer license.
This attribute class is only used to provide data for external registration tools like regpkg.exe. It does not have any effect on the runtime behavior of the VSPackage. For more information, see How to: Register Managed VSPackages.
참고
Visual C# automatically appends the word, Attribute, to the name of any attribute class. In Visual C# code, refer to this attribute as RegisterLoadKey.
Registry Entries
The following registry entries are created by the RegisterLoadKeyAttributeclass:
<VSROOT>\Packages\{PackageGuid}
<VSROOT>\Packages\{PackageGuid}\ID=ResourceID
<VSROOT>\Packages\{PackageGuid}\MinEdition=MinimumEdition
<VSROOT>\Packages\{PackageGuid}\ProductVersion=ProductVersion
<VSROOT>\Packages\{PackageGuid}\ProductName=ProductName
<VSROOT>\Packages\{PackageGuid}\CompanyName=CompanyName
Samples
You can find implementations of the RegisterLoadKeyAttribute class in the managed samples. The standard location for this and all other attributes used for automatic registration is adjacent to the implementation of the Package class in VsPkg.cs, VsPkg.vb, or VsPkg.cpp, depending on the language used in the sample.
