' two Visual C++ projects loaded before running this example.  
Imports EnvDTE  
Imports Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine  
Public Module Module1  
    Sub Test()  
        Dim prj1, prj2 As VCProject  
        prj1 = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object  
        prj2 = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(2).Object  
        ' Adds project 2 as a reference to project 1.  
        If prj1.CanAddProjectReference(prj2) Then  
            prj1.AddProjectReference(prj2)  
        End If  
    End Sub  
End Module
