Visual Studio Macros to update file to Project references and vice versa
Si vous avez une solution avec 5 projets, chacun qui référence un dll externe, puis vous voulez ajouter le projet de la référence dans la solution, vous êtes obligé de mettre à jour à la main. Pire, si vous enlevez un projet, les références sont perdues - dommage !
Ces deux macros peuvent être utilisés pour automatiser la mise à jour des deux actions. Il faut les invoquer depuis 'EnvironmentEvents' pour les Solution events ProjectAdded et ProjectRemoved.

Automatically update visual studio references from file to projet and vice versa.
If you work with solutions with lots of projects and external dependencies, you often want to swap in or out projects depending on trade offs between load time and debugging. If you have 5 projects in your solution which all reference the same dll, when you add the project in to the solution, you have to update (delete&add) each reference manually. Even worse when you remove the project - all the references are deleted, you don't even know where to add them!
These two macros are designed to automatically detect and update all references in projects (including the included project), when adding and removing projects to a solution. They have to be wired in to the Visual Studio events Solution_ProjectAdded and Solution_ProjectRemoved.
Private Sub SolutionEvents_ProjectAdded(ByVal Project As EnvDTE.Project) Handles SolutionEvents.ProjectAdded
Call HandleAddProject(Project)
End Sub
Private Sub SolutionEvents_ProjectRemoved(ByVal Project As EnvDTE.Project) Handles SolutionEvents.ProjectRemoved
Call HandleRemoveProject(Project)
End Sub

refItem = vsproject.References.AddProject(proj)
refItem.CopyLocal = False
