Properties

AssemblyName	Gets the name of the assembly. The assembly name is a short, friendly name for an assembly. The assembly name, assembly version, originator key, and locale are used by the common language runtime to uniquely identify an assembly during binding.
BuildNumber	Gets the build number of the referenced assembly.
CopyLocal	Gets or sets a value indicating whether to automatically copy the reference to the target directory.
CopyLocalDependencies	Gets or sets a value indicating whether to automatically copy the referenced assembly's non-system dependencies to the target location during a build.
CopyLocalSatelliteAssemblies	Gets or sets a value indicating whether to automatically copy the referenced assembly's satellite assemblies to the target location during a build.
Culture	Gets the culture for the selected reference.
Description	Gets or sets a string that represents the description for the object or the use of the output group.
FullPath	Gets the full path of the project file.
Identity	Gets the identity of the referenced assembly.
ItemName	Gets the name of the current item in the collection.
Kind	Gets an enumeration indicating the type of object.
Label	Gets the display name of the referenced assembly.
majorVersion	Gets the major version of the referenced assembly.
MinFrameworkVersion	Gets the minimum version of the .NET Framework required by the project.
minorVersion	Gets the minor version of the referenced assembly.
Name	Gets or sets the name of the object.
Parent	Gets the immediate parent object of a given object.
project	Gets the generic Project object associated with the Visual Basic or Visual C# project. This property is read-only.
PublicKeyToken	Gets the public key token for the referenced assembly.
Reference	Gets the associated reference.
RelativePath	Gets or sets the path to the selected reference, relative to the project directory.
RevisionNumber	Gets the revision number of the selected reference.
StrongName	Gets a value indicating whether or not the selected reference has a strong name.
SubType	Gets or sets the file's subtype as understood by the designers.
UseDependenciesInBuild	Gets or sets a value indicating whether this assembly's dependencies are used in the build process.
UseInBuild	Gets or sets a value indicating whether this assembly is used in the build process.
VCProjectEngine	Gets a pointer to the project engine.
VCReferences	Gets the collection of references for the selected project.
VCReferenceType
Version	Gets the version of the selected reference.

Methods

MatchName(String, Boolean)	Matches a specified name to the name of a collection item.
Remove()	Removes the specified project from the solution.
