DesignSurfaceExtension Class
The base class for any object provided by a VSPackage to be called by the Visual Studio environment upon designer creation to customize or extend services and metadata provided by any implementation of DesignSurface.
Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Design

Remarks
DesignSurfaceExtension object must be registered by applying the following Attribute instances applied to a VSPackage's Package implementation:
DesignSurfaceExtensionAttribute to notify the Visual Studio environment that the DesignSurfaceExtension implementation as providing customization of the design surface at designer load time.
ProvideObjectAttribute to indicate that the VSPackage provides instances of the DesignSurfaceExtension object.
ProvideServiceAttribute to indicate that the DesignSurfaceExtension implementation is provided by the VSPackage as a Visual Studio SDK service.
An application already loaded by the Visual Studio environment can provide dynamic modification of a designer surface's services or metadata at surface or component creation by handling DesignerCreated event.
However, as VSPackages are demand loaded, a package may not have been loaded by the Visual Studio environment prior to the loading of a design surface, and thus would not be able to subscribe to DesignerCreated event.
To handle this problem, whenever any design surfaces or designer component is created, the Visual Studio environment creates instances of registered DesignSurfaceExtension and applies them to the created surface or component.
This guarantees that a VSPackage's designer start up modifications are correctly executed and the VSPackage itself is loaded as needed.
