How to programmatically enable visual studio extension

问题

I have created a visual studio extension and have packaged it in visual studio setup. Now, when i install the setup, the vsix gets installed and is also seen in the Extension manager window, but its in disabled state. I have tried methods like adding registry entry for the extension and etc... but same was not useful.

You should add ProvideAutoLoad attribute to your package class and specify UI context when it's going to load. For auto-load vsix you should write sthm like this:

[ProvideAutoLoad(VSConstants.UICONTEXT.NotBuildingAndNotDebugging_string)]
public sealed class MyVSIX : Package
