Attributes

Examples

This example adds a reference to an open Visual Basic or Visual C# project and displays the reference subtype, if one exists. To run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.

The default paths for the reference added is: <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\COM. Replace <file path> in the example with this or another appropriate file path.

Imports VSLangProj  
Imports VSLangProj2  
Imports VSLangProj80  
Public Sub OnConnection(ByVal application As Object, _  
 ByVal connectMode As ext_ConnectMode, ByVal addInInst As Object, _  
 ByRef custom As Array) Implements IDTExtensibility2.OnConnection  
    applicationObject = CType(application, DTE2)  
    addInInstance = CType(addInInst, AddIn)  
    DisplaySubType(applicationObject)  
End Sub  
Sub DisplaySubType(ByVal dte As DTE2)  
    Dim aProject As Project  
    Dim aVSProject As VSProject2  
    aProject = applicationObject.Solution.Projects.Item(1)  
    aVSProject = _  
    CType(applicationObject.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object, _  
    VSProject2)  
    ' Add an Assembly reference and display its subtype.  
    Dim newRef As Reference3  
    ' Replace <file path> with an actual file path.  
    newRef = CType(aVSProject.References.Add _  
("<file path>\sqldistx.dll "), Reference3)  
    MsgBox("Added an assembly reference, named: " & newRef.Name)  
    MsgBox("The SubType of " & newRef.Name & " is " _  
    & newRef.SubType)  
End Sub  

Remarks

This property is useful only on SQL Server Visual Basic or Visual C# projects.
