Notes to Implementers:

The IVsSingleFileGenerator interface is invoked under the following circumstances:

Note:

You assign a custom tool to an input file in Visual Studio by setting the CustomTool property in the Properties window of the Visual Basic or Visual C# file selected in Solution Explorer. The component must already be registered as a custom tool before it can be assigned to an input file.

  • The user changes the CustomToolNamespace property of a file.

  • The input file to the custom tool is saved.

  • The extensibility method RunCustomTool is invoked on a VSProjectItem.
