Remarks

Although this API supports the Extension Manager infrastructure, we recommend that you do not use it because it is subject to change.

Use this method is to create an IVsExtensionRepositoryQuery<T> object and set properties on an IRepositoryEntry object to be carried by the query.

The query is built by using LINQ syntax, through the IQueryable interface. For more information about LINQ programming, see LINQ General Programming Guide.

IRepositoryEntry implementation should include properties for whatever metadata is required.
