Imports VSLangProj
Public Sub FindExample()
' First project is a Visual Basic or C# project.
Dim theVSProject As VSProject = _
CType(DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object, VSProject)
Dim refs As References = theVSProject.References
Dim firstIdentity As String = refs.Item(1).Identity
Dim firstRef As Reference = refs.Find(firstIdentity)
' Are they the same object?
Dim isSame As Boolean = (firstRef.Identity = refs.Item(1).Identity)

End Sub
Remarks
This method is used to retrieve a specific object from the References collection. There is no guarantee that a given index number for a collection will always point to the same item, because items may be added or deleted from the collection. Using index numbers for the collection is useful when iterating through the whole collection and no items are added or deleted during the iteration.
