Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager.dll)
The IExtension type exposes the following members.

Although this API supports the Extension Manager infrastructure, we recommend that you do not use it because it is subject to change.
Typically, extensions are deployed in VSIX packages, each of which contains a VSIX manifest file to hold its metadata. For more information about extension deployment, see Visual Studio Extension Deployment.
For more information about the structure of VSIX manifest files, see VSIX Extension Schema Reference.
