Remarks
Reference3 defines the following new parameters:
Examples
The following example adds two references to an open Visual Basic, Visual C#, or Visual J# project. It then calls a function, GetRefTypeName, to display the reference type and calls a function, ReportReferences, to display additional reference properties. To run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.
The default paths for the added references are : <installation root>\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\Primary Interop Assemblies for adodb.dll, and <installation root>\Program Files\Common Files\SpeechEngines\Microsoft for spcommon.dll. Replace the <file path> in the example with these or other appropriate file paths.
