Remarks
IVsToolboxDataProvider2 provides additional functionality for Toolbox data providers beyond the methods provided in IVsToolboxDataProvider. In particular, the methods of IVsToolboxDataProvider2 allow additional management of ID values, ToolTip text, and support for the IDE's Import/Export Settings feature.
Note
IVsToolboxDataProvider2 does not derive from IVsToolboxDataProvider and does not implement its methods. All data providers should implement both interfaces.
Notes to Implementers:
IVsToolboxDataProvider2 should be implemented by all Toolbox data providers that need to persist a non-standard tab as part of Toolbox state through the settings feature.
