Reference3.SourceProject Property

Gets a Project object if the reference is a project. Otherwise, it returns Nothing (a null object).

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

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property SourceProject As Project

Project SourceProject { get; }

property Project^ SourceProject {
    Project^ get ();
}

abstract SourceProject : Project with get

function get SourceProject () : Project

Property Value

Type: EnvDTE.Project
Returns a Project object.

Remarks

For one project to use objects built by a second project, the first project must contain a reference to the second project. In such a case, the SourceProject property can return a Project object for the second project.

Examples

This example iterates through all the references and displays the name of the SourceProject, if there is one. To run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples. Open a Visual Basic or Visual C# project before running this example.
