Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.Explorer Namespace

The Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.Explorer namespace contains types you can use to extend SharePoint nodes in Server Explorer or to define new types of nodes. For more information, see Extending the SharePoint Connections Node in Server Explorer.

Although most of the types in this namespace are interfaces, only the following interfaces are intended to be implemented in your code:

• IExplorerNodeTypeExtension: Implement this interface to extend an existing type of SharePoint node in Server Explorer. For more information, see How to: Extend a SharePoint Node in Server Explorer.

• IExplorerNodeTypeProvider: Implement this interface to define a new type of SharePoint node in Server Explorer. For more information, see How to: Add a Custom SharePoint Node to Server Explorer.
