DialogPage/IProfileManager: When ResetSettings is called?

Question

Hi forum,

can someone tell me when the ResetSettings method of a DialogPage or IProfileManager class gets called? I've tried various things. For example reset all settings through the "Import and Export Settings..." wizard. But the method is not called.

Maybe someone can help me :).

Thx & bye

Hi Twainsoft,

I also can reproduce this issue.

I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Realize this is a somewhat ancient post, but I recently ran into this myself. Turns out the ResetSettings is never invoked. If you want to reset various options via that Import / Export Settings dialog, your package needs to implement IVsUserSettings.

What was entirely puzzling what the fact that I could see various settings being reset here, even though my own ResetSettings was never invoked. So I wound up debugging through how the debugger persists that "Load Dll Export" setting on it's Native options page.

After a bit of debugging I found that the setting was being reset on the following callstack, which was the clue I needed to puzzle this out.
