Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.11.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.11.0.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    objectType As Type _
)

public ProvideObjectAttribute(
    Type objectType
)

public:
ProvideObjectAttribute(
    Type^ objectType
)

new : 
        objectType:Type -> ProvideObjectAttribute

public function ProvideObjectAttribute(
    objectType : Type
)

Parameters

• objectType
  Type: System.Type

  The type of object that the VSPackage can create. This type can have any scoping (public, internal, etc.) but must have a public constructor that takes no arguments.

Remarks

Any object proffered via the ProvideObjectAttribute class must have a public constructor. The constructor can be overloaded, but it must have at least one implementation that takes no arguments.

The C# language automatically appends the word "Attribute" to the name of any attribute class. In C# code, refer to this attribute as ProvideObject.

Examples

The following C# code applies the ProvideObject attribute to a VSPackage named MyVSPackage.

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;
using MSVSIP = Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;
[MSVSIP.ProvideObject(typeof(MyObject))]
public class MyVSPackage : MSVSIP. Package {}
