Remarks

This attribute associates a file extension with a given editor factory. The file extension should include the prefixing “.”. The editor factory may be specified as either a GUID or a type.

This attribute also associates a priority with the editor factory. For a given file extension, the editor with the highest priority is given the chance to read a file first. If the editor fails to read the file, the remaining editors are used in order of priority. To make a given editor the default, assign a priority greater than 0x60.

This attribute class is only used to provide data for external registration tools. It does not affect runtime behavior.

When to Call

Apply this file extension attribute to a package class that implements an editor factory. The package class must inherit from Package or IVsPackage.
