+
+This package generates a static `ThisAssembly.Vsix` class with public
+constants exposing key VSIX manifest properties.
+
+
+
+For example:
+
+```csharp
+ partial class ThisAssembly
+ {
+ public static partial class Vsix
+ {
+ public const string Id = "MyVsix";
+ }
+ }
+```
+
+In addition to making the [VSIX manifest metadata](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/vsix-extension-schema-2-0-reference?view=vs-2022#metadata-element)
+properties available as constants, the package also provides targets for those properties
+with sensible defaults from project properties so that the manifest can leverage
+[placeolder syntax](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/vsix-extension-schema-2-0-reference?view=vs-2022#metadata-element)
+and avoid duplication.
+
+For example, the following `source.extension.vsixmanifest` uses values from MSBuild exclusively:
+```xml
+
+
+
+
+ |%CurrentProject%;VsixDisplayName|
+ |%CurrentProject%;VsixDescription|
+
+ ...
+
+```
+
+The available properties and their default values are:
+
+| Name | Default Value |
+|-------------------|-----------------------------------|
+| VsixID | $(PackageId) or $(AssemblyName) |
+| VsixVersion | $(Version) |
+| VsixDisplayName | $(Title) |
+| VsixDescription | $(Description) |
+| VsixProduct | $(Product) |
+| VsixPublisher | $(Company) |
+| VsixLanguage | $(NeutralLanguage) or 'en-US' |
+| VsixDescription | $(Description) |
+
+As shown in the example above, the syntax for using these properties from the `.vsxmanifest` is
+`|%CurrentProject%;[PROPERTY]|`. This is because the package defines a corresponding target to
+retrieve each of the above properties. You can provide a different value for each property via
+MSBuild as usual, of course.
+
+Since the `$(PackageId)` property can be used as the VSIX ID, the `Pack` target is redefined to
+mean `CreateVsixManifest`, so "packing" the VSIX is just a matter of right-clicking the VSIX
+project and selecting "Pack".
