Remarks
COM Signature
From vsshell.idl:
HRESULT IVsOutputGroup2::get_CanonicalName(
[out] BSTR *pbstrCanonicalName
);
Canonical group names are Unicode, since typically they are passed as LPCOLESTR arguments to COM methods. They must not be localized. Canonical names should be predictable so that project A, for example, can ask project B for its build outputs and have a reasonable expectation as to what it will be getting.
This method returns the same information regardless of the project's configuration settings. Using canonical names allows projects to ask for specific types of outputs, such as source files or documentation. Users do not see canonical names; they see only display names.
