Namespace:  VSLangProj80
Assembly:  VSLangProj80 (in VSLangProj80.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Property SpecificVersion As Boolean
'Usage
Dim instance As Reference3 
Dim value As Boolean 

value = instance.SpecificVersion

instance.SpecificVersion = value
bool SpecificVersion { get; set; }
property bool SpecificVersion {
    bool get ();
    void set (bool value);
}
function get SpecificVersion () : boolean 
function set SpecificVersion (value : boolean)

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
A boolean value indicating whether only a certain version of the reference is used.

Remarks

This property allows you to target a specific version of a reference to an assembly for a project.

Examples

This example displays the SpecificVersion value for each reference in an open Visual Basic, Visual C#, or Visual J# project. To run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.
