Remarks
When to Call
Apply the ProvideMenuResourceAttribute to a Microsoft.VisualStudio.Package-derived class or class that implements IVsPackage if the class contains one or more menu resources. Register the resources with regpkg.exe or a similar registration tool. For more information, see How to: Register Managed VSPackages.
Basic Usage
The ProvideMenuResourceAttribute class defines the resource ID and version number of a menu resource, allowing a registration tool such as regpkg.exe to register the menu resource with Visual Studio. When Visual Studio encounters a VSPackage with a registered menu resource, it retrieves the resource information from the VSPackage or the package's managed or satellite DLL and merges the menu into the Visual Studio menu system. To use ProvideMenuResourceAttribute, place it on a Package-derived class or class that implements IVsPackage.
For the menu resource to merge correctly, the resource DLL must follow the satellite DLL conventions. It must be named <assemblyfile>UI.dll, and placed into an appropriate, localized subdirectory. For additional information on menus and menu resources, see How VSPackages Add User Interface Elements and Menus and Toolbars.
This attribute class is only used to provide data for external registration tools. It does not have any effect on the run-time behavior of the VSPackage.
注意
C# automatically appends the word "Attribute" to the name of any attribute class. In C# code, refer to this attribute as ProvideMenuResource.
Registry Entries
The following registry entries are created by ProvideMenuResourceAttribute:
<VSROOT>\Menus\
<VSROOT>\Menus\{PackageGuid}=", ResourceID, Version"
Samples
You can find implementations of the ProvideMenuResourceAttribute class in the managed samples. The standard location for this and all other attributes used for automatic registration is adjacent to the implementation of the Package class in VsPkg.cs, VsPkg.vb, or VsPkg.cpp, depending on the language used in the sample.
