This class provides standard toolbox item information, and also information to add to the diagram when a user of the DSL drags an item from the toolbox to the design surface. The DSL Tools generate these toolbox items from the DSL definition. You can create additional toolbox items in your code.

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
