Syntax
'Declaration
Property ReferenceDirectories As String
Get
Set
string ReferenceDirectories { get; set; }
property String^ ReferenceDirectories {
String^ get ();
void set (String^ value);
}
abstract ReferenceDirectories : string with get, set
function get ReferenceDirectories () : String
function set ReferenceDirectories (value : String)
Property Value
Type: System.String
The path to use when searching for files added with the #using directive. ReferenceDirectories corresponds to the environment variable, LIBPATH.
Remarks
By default in Visual C++ 2010, this property does not inherit from parent or project defaults. To inherit defaults when you set an reference files path, append the project $(ReferencePath) macro to the path. For an example of inheriting project defaults for a property similar to this one, see the remarks and example for ExcludeDirectories.
Examples
See How to: Compile Example Code for Project Model Extensibility for information about how to compile and run this example.
The following example modifies the ReferenceDirectories property in the integrated development environment (IDE):
' add reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine
Imports EnvDTE
Imports Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine
Public Module Module1
Sub Test()
Dim prj As VCProject
Dim cfgs, tools As IVCCollection
Dim cfg As VCConfiguration
Dim p As VCPlatform
Dim x As String
prj = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object
p = prj.Platforms(1)
x = p.ReferenceDirectories
p.ReferenceDirectories = x + ";something"
MsgBox(p.ReferenceDirectories)
End Sub
End Module
