Methods

  Name Description
Public method Equals Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method FormatPublicKeyToken Formats a binary public key token into a hexadecimal string.
Protected method GetGuidHashString Gets the string that will be hashed into the identifier of the attribute.
Public method GetHashCode Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Protected method GetPackageRegKeyPath Gets the registry path (relative to the registry root of the application) of the VSPackage. (Inherited from RegistrationAttribute.)
Protected method GetPathToKey Gets the path to the key were the values for this attribute will be registered.
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method IsDefaultAttribute When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method Match When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Register Registers this attribute with the given context. (Overrides RegistrationAttribute.Register(RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext).)
Protected method SetValues Set values handled by this attribute in the given key.
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method TryParseVersion Tries to parse a string into a version.
Public method Unregister Unregisters this attribute. (Overrides RegistrationAttribute.Unregister(RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext).)
