Using the ReferenceManager Dialog in a custom MPF project

Hi everybody

In my MPF project on Visual Studio 2012, I've implementing a Reference Manager dialog with IVsReferenceManager::ShowReferenceManager method due the fact that I want to manage my custom project's references

I work with the standard provider FileReferenceProvider that is suitable for me.

The problem is that project references already referenced from my project are not displayed with a checkbox, even though I set IVsProjectReference.AlreadyReference = true after calling CreateReference and AddReference on the context.

The code is the following:

1. ProjectNode::AddProjectReference implement the following (see

var referenceManager =this.GetService(typeof(SVsReferenceManager))asIVsReferenceManager;
if(referenceManager !=null)
{
    referenceManager.ShowReferenceManager(
        this,
       SR.GetString(SR.AddReferenceDialogTitle,CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture),
        "VS.ReferenceManager",
        VSConstants.FileReferenceProvider_Guid,
        true);

    returnVSConstants.S_OK;
}

returnVSConstants.E_FAIL;

2. My ProjectNode class implement the interface  IVsReferenceManagerUser

3.  The Method GetProviderContext() is the following

public Array GetProviderContexts()
{
            
   var referenceManager = this.GetService(typeof(SVsReferenceManager)) as IVsReferenceManager;
   var myContext = referenceManager.CreateProviderContext(VSConstants.FileReferenceProvider_Guid) as IVsFileReferenceProviderContext;
   myContext.BrowseFilter = "My file (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*";
   myContext.DefaultBrowseLocation = "my path of txt file";
           
   foreach (CustomReferenceNode node in GetReferenceContainer().EnumReferences().OfType<CustomReferenceNode>())
   {
    IVsReference reference = myContext.CreateReference() as IVsReference;
               
        reference.Name = node.Caption;
        reference.FullPath = node.FullPath;
        reference.AlreadyReferenced = true

        myContext.AddReference(reference);
               
    }
    return new[] { myContext as IVsReferenceProviderContext };
}

Any thoughts are much appreciated

Thanks in advance.
