' First project is a Visual Basic or C# project.
Dim theVSProject As VSProject = _
CType(DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object, VSProject)
' Second project is any type of project.

Remarks
This method does not generate an error if a reference exists in the project with the same Identity, Culture, MajorVersion, MinorVersion, BuildNumber, and RevisionNumber as the new reference. That condition would indicate that the reference indicated by the bstrPath
parameter has already been added to the project. Instead, the ProjectItem
for the matching reference already in the project is returned.
If a reference with the same Identity but differing MajorVersion, MinorVersion, BuildNumber, RevisionNumber or Culture is found in the project, the method generates an error.
