![]() | Factory | Returns the GUID of the associated factory. |
![]() | NameResourceID | Gets and sets the integer NameResourceID. |
![]() | Priority | Gets the editor's priority as set in the constructor. |
![]() | ProjectGuid | Sets and gets the GUID of the project associated with this editor. |
![]() | TemplateDir | Gets or sets the template directory to be used by the editor factory to retrieve its source files. |
![]() | TypeId | Gets the current instance of this attribute.(Inherited from RegistrationAttribute.) |

This attribute associates a file extension with a given editor factory. The file extension should include the prefixing ".". The editor factory may be specified as either a GUID or a type.
This attribute also associates a priority with the editor factory. For a given file extension, the editor with the highest priority is given the chance to read a file first. If the editor fails to read the file, the remaining editors are used in order of priority. To make a given editor the default, assign a priority greater than 0x60.
This attribute class is only used to provide data for external registration tools. It does not affect runtime behavior.
Apply this file extension attribute to a package class that implements an editor factory. The package class must inherit from Package or IVsPackage.
The following registry entry is created by this attribute:
VSROOT\Editors\{FactoryGuid}\Extensions\Extension = Priority
