Managed Package Framework Classes
The managed package framework (MPF) classes can be used to create VSPackages using managed code. They provide default implementations for many VSPackage interfaces. By hiding implementation details and complexities, MPF enables you to create Visual Studio integration products with a minimum amount of code.
