)
'Usage
Dim instance As RegisterLoadKeyAttribute
Dim context As RegistrationAttribute..::..RegistrationContext

virtual void Register(
    RegistrationAttribute..::..RegistrationContext^ context

public override function Register(
    context : RegistrationAttribute..::..RegistrationContext

Parameters

• context
  Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext
  A registration context 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.

Remarks

The context contains the location where the registration information should be placed. It also contains such information as the type being registered, and the path information.

This method is called both for registration and unregistration. The difference is that unregistering just uses a hive that reverses the changes applied to it. VSPackages implementing the RegisterLoadKeyAttribute class do not need to call the Register method. Register is called by the registration tools.
