ProvideBindingPathAttribute Class

Registers a path that should be probed for candidate assemblies at assembly load time.

You should use ProvideCodeBaseAttribute instead of ProvideBindingPathAttribute. Registering a specific assembly location instead of a directory to probe results in better performance.

The ProvideBindingPathAttribute type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	ProvideBindingPathAttribute	Initializes a new instance of the ProvideBindingPathAttribute class.

Properties

	Name	Description
	SubPath	Gets or sets an optional SubPath to set after $PackageFolder$. You can use this property if the assemblies to be probed reside in a different directory than the pkgdef file.
	TypeId	Gets the current instance of this attribute. (Inherited from RegistrationAttribute.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	GetHashCode	Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	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.)
	Match	When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	Register	Registers this attribute with the given context. (Overrides RegistrationAttribute.Register(RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext).)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Unregister	Unregisters this attribute. (Overrides RegistrationAttribute.Unregister(RegistrationAttribute.RegistrationContext).)

Explicit Interface Implementations

	Name	Description
	_Attribute.GetIDsOfNames	Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute.GetTypeInfo	Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount	Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute.Invoke	Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.)

Remarks

For example:

[...\VisualStudio\10.0\BindingPaths\{5C48C732-5C7F-40f0-87A7-05C4F15BC8C3}]

    "$PackageFolder$"=""

This registers the PackageFolder (that is, the location of the pkgdef file) as a directory to be probed for assemblies to load.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
