ProjectAddAssemblyReference Method (String, String, String, Boolean, String, Boolean)

Add an assembly reference by name.
The optional parameters basically mirror settings used in the '.csproj' file. The name is normally the file name of the assembly without the extension (short name), or can be a "display name" which includes a version number and other optional values. If the assembly is not in the project's output directory or the GAC, it will require a hint-path, which can be either relative or absolute, and should include the file name and extension to be compatible with the standard '.csproj' files. You can also use a path on the name itself, but standard '.csproj' files use the hint-path instead.
