Reference3.AutoReferenced Property

Definition

Namespace:

VSLangProj80

Assembly:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Interop.dll

Package:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Interop v17.11.40262

Gets whether the reference is automatically referenced by the compiler.

public:
 property bool AutoReferenced { bool get(); };

public:
 property bool AutoReferenced { bool get(); };

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(125)]
public bool AutoReferenced { [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(125)] get; }

[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(125)>]
[<get: System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(125)>]
member this.AutoReferenced : bool

Public ReadOnly Property AutoReferenced As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

A boolean value indicating whether the reference is auto-referenced.

Attributes

DispIdAttribute

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.

    string refStr = null;  
    refStr = "";  
    foreach (VSLangProj80.Reference3 temp in aProject.References)  
    {  
        aRef = temp;  
        refStr += (aRef.Name + " has an AutoReferenced value of : "   
+ aRef.AutoReferenced.ToString() + "\n" + "\n");  
    }  
    MessageBox.Show(refStr);  
}  

Remarks

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