Inherited Members
Namespace: Sdl.Core.PluginFramework.Util
Assembly: Sdl.Core.PluginFramework.dll
Syntax
public class SortableExtensionAttribute : ExtensionAttribute
Remarks

Use this attribute as a base when developing extension points that require the ability for their extensions to specify the order in which they should be used.

In order to consume extensions of a sortable extension point, use SortedObjectRegistry<TSortableExtensionAttribute, TExtensionType> if you want to create all extension instances at once. Use the TopologicalSort<T> class if you need more control over when the extensions are instantiated.
