Packages that target Visual Studio 2010 only do not need a package load key. |
Packages that target Visual Studio 2008 and earlier must have a package load key in order to validate and load VSPackages. This includes VSPackages provided by third parties, regardless of whether the hosting version of Visual Studio has a VSIP license.

|---|
Visual C# automatically appends the word Attribute to the name of any attribute class. In Visual C# code, refer to this attribute as ProvideLoadKey. |
The following Visual C# code applies the ProvideLoadKey attribute to a VSPackage named MyVSPackage.
