Reference3.AutoReferenced Property

Gets whether the reference is automatically referenced by the compiler.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property AutoReferenced As Boolean

bool AutoReferenced { get; }

property bool AutoReferenced {
    bool get ();
}

abstract AutoReferenced : bool with get

function get AutoReferenced () : boolean

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
A boolean value indicating whether the reference is auto-referenced.

Remarks

Some references are automatically used by the compiler. For example, Visual Basic projects automatically reference MSCORLIB.dll and Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll.

Examples

This example iterates through references in an open Visual Basic or Visual C# project. It then determines whether they are auto reference or not. To run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.
