Element	Description
Reference	Specifies the assembly reference to add when the item is added to a project.

Text value

A text value is required.

This text specifies the assembly to add to a project when the item template is instantiated. This assembly name must be specified in one of the following ways:

As a full assembly name. For example:

<Assembly>
    MyAssembly, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a, Custom = null.
</Assembly>

As simple text reference. For example:
```
<Assembly> System </Assembly>
```

Remarks

Assembly is a required child element of Reference.

The Reference, References, and Assembly elements can only be used in .vstemplate files that have a Type attribute value of Item.

Example

The following example illustrates the TemplateContent element of an item template. This XML adds references to the System.dll and System.Data.dll assemblies.

<TemplateContent>
    <References>
        <Reference>
            <Assembly>
                System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
            </Assembly>
        </Reference>
        <Reference>
            <Assembly>
                System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
