A RegistrationAttribute::RegistrationContext provided by an external registration tool. The context can be used to create registry keys, log registration activity, and obtain information about the component being registered.

VSPackage classes that apply ProvideExtenderAttribute do not need to call the Register method. Register is called by registration tools.

The following registry entries are created by the ProvideExtenderAttribute class:

  • <VSROOT>\Extenders\{CATID}\EditorName\

  • <VSROOT>\Extenders\{CATID}\EditorName\@={ExtenderGuid}
