Remarks
When to Call
Implement the RegisterExtenderAttribute class when your VSPackage implements a static extender.
Basic Usage
RegisterExtenderAttribute registers an extender (an object that implements IExtenderProvider) with Visual Studio. To use RegisterExtenderAttribute, place it on a class that inherits from Package or implements IVsPackage.
This attribute class is only used to provide data for external registration tools. It does not have any effect on the runtime behavior of the VSPackage.
Note
C# automatically appends the word "Attribute" to the name of any attribute class. In C# code, refer to this attribute as RegisterExtender.
Note
The GUIDs for the Visual C# and Visual Basic project types are {FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC} and {F184B08F-C81C-45F6-A57F-5ABD9991F28F}, respectively.
