Methods
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
Equals | Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Overrides Attribute.Equals(Object).) | |
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) | |

Remarks
Apply the FeatureConnectorAttribute to your custom FeatureProvider class to specify a FeatureConnector<TFeatureProviderType> that publishes a service required by your FeatureProvider.
Examples
The following code example shows how to use the FeatureConnectorAttribute to associate a FeatureConnector<TFeatureProviderType> class with a custom feature provider named DiagnosticsMenuProvider. For a complete code listing, see How to: Create a Custom Feature Connector.
' The DiagnosticsMenuProvider class adds a context menu item
' that displays a dialog box listing the currently running and
' pending feature connectors.
<FeatureConnector(GetType(DiagnosticsFeatureConnector))> _
Public Class DiagnosticsMenuProvider
Inherits PrimarySelectionContextMenuProvider
Public Sub New()
Dim action As New MenuAction("Feature Diagnostics...")
AddHandler action.Execute, AddressOf action_Execute
Items.Add(action)
End Sub
Sub action_Execute(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MenuActionEventArgs)
Dim service As IDiagnosticsService = e.Context.Services.GetRequiredService(Of IDiagnosticsService)()
service.ShowWindow()
End Sub
End Class
// The DiagnosticsMenuProvider class adds a context menu item
// that displays a dialog box listing the currently running and
// pending feature connectors.
[FeatureConnector(typeof(DiagnosticsFeatureConnector))]
public class DiagnosticsMenuProvider : PrimarySelectionContextMenuProvider
{
public DiagnosticsMenuProvider()
{
MenuAction action = new MenuAction("Feature Diagnostics...");
action.Execute += new EventHandler<MenuActionEventArgs>(action_Execute);
Items.Add(action);
}
void action_Execute(object sender, MenuActionEventArgs e)
{
IDiagnosticsService service =
e.Context.Services.GetRequiredService<IDiagnosticsService>();
service.ShowWindow();
}
}
