• padlewski Help on ProjectNode.AddReference

  Hi, Has anyone any experience with ProjectNode.AddReference() I'm trying to dynamically add references to a project.  I succeed when adding specific files that are part of my application, but for some reason I'm struggling to add .Net assemblies such as System.

This is equally important because alot of legacy schemas out there use a combination of the ...Show All
