Programmatically Adding References (Macro-related)

If the name of the post doesn't sum it all the way up, here's the question. Does anyone know of a way, in macro code, to programmatically add a reference to a project? That'd be swell, eh? Takers?

Isnt the project file just xml?

Just add <Reference Name="" AssemblyName="" HintPath=""/> elements to the References node.

It's hidden in the VSLangProj.VSProject class.

Public Module Module1
Public Function AddProjectReference()
Dim selItems As EnvDTE.SelectedItems
selItems = DTE.SelectedItems

If selItems.Count = 1 Then
Dim project As Project
project = selItems.Item(0).Project

Dim vsProj As VSLangProj.VSProject
vsProj = DirectCast(project.Object, VSLangProj.VSProject)

vsProj.References.Add("path to reference")
End If
End Function
End Module
