The References property of the CodeArchive class is a collection of strings representing the references required by the compiler or generator to compile the code. This property is essential for ensuring that all necessary dependencies are included during the compilation process.
To use the References property, you can add or remove reference strings as needed to ensure that your code has access to all required libraries and dependencies. This property is a HashSet<string>, which means it automatically handles duplicate entries and provides efficient lookup operations.
// Example of using the References property
CodeArchive codeArchive = new CodeArchive();
// Add a reference
codeArchive.References.Add("System.Linq");
// Check if a reference exists
if (codeArchive.References.Contains("System.Linq"))
{
// Reference exists
}
// Remove a reference
codeArchive.References.Remove("System.Linq");
