Load VSPackage with dynamic items did not load on startup

Question

I have a Visual Studio Package where items are dynamically added to the menu bar. However, only the fixed entries are shown because the extension is not loaded correctly. The package is only loaded when you click on a fixed entry. But it should be loaded at the start of the studio. I tried everything with ProvideAutoLoad, the dynamic items are not shown. I don't know why. What is the problem ?

I hope someone can help me here

thx

Answer 1

[ProvideAutoLoad(VSConstants.UICONTEXT.NoSolution_string, PackageAutoLoadFlags.BackgroundLoad)]
[ProvideAutoLoad(VSConstants.UICONTEXT.SolutionExists_string, PackageAutoLoadFlags.BackgroundLoad)]

should be enough to automatically load a package on Visual Studio startup.
