Remarks

The following registry layout shows where each of the required parameters is used.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\[X.Y]\Languages\  
  Language Services\  
    [strLanguageName]\  
      (Default) = reg_sz: [languageService.GUID]  
       Package   = reg_sz: [Package GUID]  
       LangResID = reg_dword: [languageResourceID]  

The [Package GUID] value is automatically obtained from the class that implements the IVsPackage interface in the assembly.

In addition to the required parameters listed in the Parameters section, the constructor also accepts optional named parameters after the required parameters. This is a special form supported only in user-defined attributes. These named parameters correspond to the public properties on this class that have both get and set operators.
