VSProject2::Events2 Property
Gets a VSProjectEvents2 object that allows you to respond to events of the Imports, References, BuildManager, and VSLangProjWebReferencesEvents objects.
Assembly: VSLangProj80 (in VSLangProj80.dll)
The Events2 property provides access to events from the References, Imports, BuildManager, and VSLangProjWebReferencesEvents objects.
This example connects an event-handling method to the ReferenceAdded event for a specific project by using the Events2 object. To handle events for all projects in a solution, see ReferencesEvents object. For Additional examples, see How to: Respond to Events in a Specific Project (Visual Basic) and How to: Respond to Events in a Specific Project (Visual C#). To run this example as a macro, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples. Open a Visual Basic or Visual C# project before running this example.
