In the VCS express edition, I don't see an option for adding project references. There is a project tab within the "add reference" dialog... but it doesn't have any buttons like [add] or [browse]... only a blank list... that is all that I see on the project tab.
Is this normal Is it a problem with my install How can I add project references Is there another way to go about it through the UI
Adding Project References
Jake52
Hi, thanks for the reply. I don't have any issues when adding references to a managed .net assembly... I get a listing of assemblies and can add them without any problem. The issue I am seeing is when trying to reference a vcs project (.csproj)... as I mentioned, all I see is a blank tab. So that leaves me wondering if maybe this functionality was left out of the express edtions... or if maybe my computer or installation has issues.
Now, obviously, what I could do is build the other project into an assembly and reference it that way... but unfortunately that is not how I want to do it. I'd prefer to have the project referenced.
I'll provide a screenshot:

Have a look at the following post, It is mainly for adding the Managed DirectX References but it might help you with what you are looking for.

I do not have express installed on this machine, but from memory the project reference is for projects inside the current solution. As Express does not have solutions I would think that this is one of the functions that have been removed from the system. What you might have to do is runt a new instance of the IDE compile the project and just add the reference to the assembly that is created.
I might do some playing when I get home to my express installs and see what else I can come up with.
