Remarks
To persist a VSPackage configuration using the IVsPackage interface requires:
Registration of the VSPackage as providing Visual Studio settings support, this is referred to as defining a Custom Settings Point. For more information see, Persisting Settings
The implementation of two of the IVsPackage interface's methods: ExportSettings and ImportSettings.
The optional implementation of the IVsUserSettingsQuery interface if management of when settings are saved is required.
For more information, see How to: Export Settings By Using Interop Assemblies and How to: Use Interop Assemblies to Import Settings.
Notes to Implementers:
Implement on interop assembly based VSPackages derived from IVsPackage to participate in the Visual Studio settings mechanism when users select the Import/Export Settings feature available on the IDE’s Tools menu.
