ProvideDesignerOptionsAttribute Class

Visual Studio 2005

Associates one or more categories with each designer in the registry.

Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Design
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Design (in microsoft.visualstudio.shell.design.dll)

Syntax

C++

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple=true)] 
public sealed class ProvideDesignerOptionsAttribute : RegistrationAttribute

/** @attribute AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple=true) */ 
public final class ProvideDesignerOptionsAttribute extends RegistrationAttribute

JScript

AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple=true) 
public final class ProvideDesignerOptionsAttribute extends RegistrationAttribute

Remarks

For packages that implement designers, this associates the designer with one or more categories. When applied to a VSPackage that implements a designer like this:

Using MSVSIP = Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;
[ProvideDesignerOptionsAttribute("categoryA")]
[ProvideDesignerOptionsAttribute("categoryB")]
public sealed class MyVSPackage : MSVSIP.Package
{
// Class body omitted.
}

The resulting registry entries for designer categories include:

Designers\\Options\categoryA
Designers\\Options\\ categoryB
