How do I access the References collection in VB

[WantsToLearn]

Before I start my code, I want to ensure that all the DLLs needed are present and not missing. How do I access that collection in VB? I know its there but I can't find it.

Thank you!

Project->References or Project->Components

Is that what you are after?

The only way to do that in VB would be to try and instantiate all classes at program launch. Build an error handler around it and you're done.

You could also check the prog id's in the registry but this does not absolutely guarantee that you're refrences are actually met, since there might be difference in versions (which probably results in differences in GUIDs as well).

Use application.references.count to know how many are active
& application.references.index(from 1 to application.references.count).name to know their name
