Parent Elements

Element	Description

Remarks

All extension components should have references in the Content element except for components that are included only as dependencies. Dependencies are referenced from the References Element. Dependencies are contained in their own nested VSIX packages and installed immediately before the dependent extension, as required.

Technically, the Content element is optional. However, a VSIX package that does not have a Content element, or has an empty Content element, will not install anything except dependencies.
