Is there an easy way to print (to a text file) the path of all ‘References’ in a .NET project?

In the IDE, one could see the path of each, but if I want that printed for all references in a project, do you know how can this be done?

Thanks.

    If you look at the csproj file (assuming it’s a C# project you will find something like this:

    <ItemGroup>
  <Reference Include="DevExpress.Data.v10.2, Version=10.2.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
    <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
    <HintPath>..\Libs\DevExpress.Data.v10.2.dll</HintPath>
    <Private>True</Private>
  </Reference>
  <Reference Include="DevExpress.Data.v10.2.Linq, Version=10.2.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
    <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
    <HintPath>..\Libs\DevExpress.Data.v10.2.Linq.dll</HintPath>
    <Private>True</Private>
  </Reference>
  <!-- some more -->
</ItemGroup>

    You could read the project file as a XML document and fire up some XPath queries and do a Console.Writeline.
