Sub ConnectEvents()  
   Dim proj As Project = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1)  
   Dim vsproj As VSProject2 = CType(proj.Object, VSProject2)  
   Dim refEvents As ReferencesEvents = vsproj.Events.ReferencesEvents  
   AddHandler refEvents.ReferenceAdded, AddressOf ReferenceAdded  
   AddHandler refEvents.ReferenceRemoved, AddressOf ReferenceRemoved  
   AddHandler refEvents.ReferenceChanged, AddressOf ReferenceChanged  
End Sub  

Sub ReferenceRemoved(ByVal removedRef As Reference)  
   MsgBox("The reference for " & removedRef.Name & " was removed.")  
End Sub  

Sub ReferenceChanged(ByVal removedRef As Reference)  
   MsgBox("The reference for " & removedRef.Name & " was changed.")  
End Sub  

Sub ReferenceAdded(ByVal addedRef As Reference)  
   MsgBox("The reference for " & addedRef.Name & " was added.")
