Remarks

Important

Packages that target Visual Studio 2010 only do not need a package load key.

Packages that target Visual Studio 2008 and earlier must have a package load key in order to validate and load VSPackages. This includes VSPackages provided by third parties, regardless of whether the hosting version of Visual Studio has a VSIP license.

This output is formatted with "Packages\\GUID", for instance:

The Visual C# language automatically appends the word "Attribute" to the name of any attribute class. In Visual C# code, refer to this attribute as ProvideLoadKey.
