) : int

Parameters

  • pszSettingName
    Type: System.String

    [in] String uniquely identifying the data element to be retrieved.

  • plSettingValue
    Type: System.Int32%

    [out] Long (32-bit integer) value retrieved from the specified data element of the Visual Studio settings file.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

The names specified by pfSettingValue need to be unique within a Custom Settings Point, as the IDE uses the Custom Settings Point identifying GUID and the value of pfSettingValue to identify each saved setting.

As the value of pfSettingValue must be unique, the order of calling the ReadSettingLong method with respect to other methods of the IVsSettingsReader interface is not relevant.
