IVsTaskProvider3.GetProviderGuid Method

Article
03/06/2013

Returns a unique Identifier for this provider. This is used to persist & restore per-provider data managed by the task list, such as user customizations of column width & order. If it is not practical to assign a GUID to this provider (e.g. the provider is dynamically created at run-time and the identity cannot be preserved across VS sessions), you may return GUID_NULL. However, you should be aware that certain functionality (such as UI settings persistence and the IVsTaskList2.SetActiveProvider method) will not work in that case.
