How does one add a reference to a COM class using VSA. I don't see an
obvious method for making this happen. Is it an IVsaReferenceItem or
an IVsaGlobalItem?

Are there any convenient ways to browse for the COM component?

Scott.

You have to create a com wrapper, there is a command line utiltity for this
(tlbimp). Then add a reference to the wrapper. If you need to talk to com
objects on the fly, then you will need to learn the com-interop library as
..net code can not call com objects directly.

Note: when you add a com object with VS, it runs the utiltiy for you, and
adds the reference.
