Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsSettingsWriter[in] An IVsSettingsWriter interface provided by the environment to the VSPackage providing write access to the Visual Studio settings file.
Remarks
An implementation of the SaveSettingsToXml method needs to obtain access to the VSPackage it supports so it can retrieve the current state of the VSPackage and write it to disk.
This method is called by the Visual Studio environment when a user chooses the Import/Export Settings command on the Tools menu to save the Visual Studio state.
Prior to calling this method, the IDE calls LoadSettingsFromStorage to guarantee that the VSPackage state is correct.
