How to remove a reference

[tcl4p]

I'm trying to upgrade some new third party controls in VS 2008, but have run into a problem with the references. The problem is I cannot remove the references currently found in the Solution Explorer, because there is no remove menu item. There is an exclude menu item, which I tried and then refreshed the Detected Dependencies, but after running the refresh the excluded items were still there.
If anyone can give me some information on how to remove the references, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Tom

You don't remove references in the Solution Explorer. You remove them on the References page of the project properties.

You CAN remove the reference in the sol.expl. though.
Simply click on "show all files", open the references branch and then select the reference to remove and hit DEL or use the context menu and use remove.

Forgot all about that as I never do it that way in VB, although I should remember as that's the only way in C#.

Right click on the project, click on References, select the reference you want to remove, click Remove button.
