Parameters

  • Path
    Type: System.String

    A string representing the path of the assembly to add.

Return Value

The path of the assembly.

AddAssemblyReference calls the VSCore service in Visual Studio to identify the MinFrameworkVersion for the added reference. If you call AddAssemblyReference outside of Visual Studio where the VSCore service is not available, then the MinFrameworkVersion is set to eFrameworkVersionUnknown.
