Remarks

Attribute Context

Applies to

Classes providing VSPackages by implementing IVsPackage, Package.

Repeatable

No

Required attributes

ProvideAssemblyFilterAttribute (applied to the class implementing IConfigureToolboxItem.

Invalid attributes

None

A specific instance of ProvideToolboxItemConfigurationAttribute is defined for each instance of IConfigureToolboxItem.

When this attribute is applied to a class that implements IVsPackage or Package, it informs Visual Studio that this VSPackage supplies an implementation of IConfigureToolboxItem.

A VSPackage can have more than one instance of ProvideToolboxItemConfigurationAttribute applied to it.

Examples

In the example below, the PackageItemConfiguration implementation is registered as providing the class ToolboxConfig to support an implementation of IConfigureToolboxItem.

using MSVSIP = Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;
 [assembly:ComVisible(true)]

namespace Vsip.ItemConfiguration
{
    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    // Walkthrough1
    [MSVSIP.ProvideToolboxItemsAttribute(110)]
    [MSVSIP.DefaultRegistryRoot("Software\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\8.0")]
    [MSVSIP.InstalledProductRegistration(100, 102, "1.0", IconResId = 400)]
    [MSVSIP.RegisterLoadKey("Standard", "1.0", "Package Name", "Company", 1)]
    [MSVSIP.ProvideMenuResource(1000, 1)]
    [ProvideToolboxItemConfigurationAttribute(typeof(ToolboxConfig))]
    [GuidAttribute("XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX")]
    public class ItemConfiguration : MSVSIP.Package
