For packages that implement designers, this associates the designer with one or more categories. When applied to a VSPackage that implements a designer like this:
Using MSVSIP = Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;
[ProvideDesignerOptionsAttribute("categoryA")]
[ProvideDesignerOptionsAttribute("categoryB")]
public sealed class MyVSPackage : MSVSIP.Package
{
// Class body omitted.
}
The resulting registry entries for designer categories include:
Designers\\Options\categoryA Designers\\Options\\ categoryB
