Hi Mehdi,

You'll need to use the AddProject method on the References collection of a VSLangProj instance. Here's an example:

private void AddProjectReference(EnvDTE.Project proj, EnvDTE.Project targetProject)
{
    VSLangProj.VSProject vsProject = (VSLangProj.VSProject)proj.Object;
    vsProject.References.AddProject(targetProject);
}
