Remarks

This attribute is used to provide metadata for the ClassificationTypeDefinition export. The IClassificationTypeRegistryService uses this to construct IClassificationType objects. A IClassificationType can multiply inherit from different base types.

For more information about this attribute, see the "Extending Classification Types and Classification Formats" in Editor Extension Points.
