I'm using Visualstudio 2017 and need to add a reference for System.IO.Ports. However I can't find the Add Reference option (in any right-click menu in the solution explorer) nor instructions on how to do this. Help please? Thank you

Hi, I'm afraid I have no memory of this. Have you tried the answer below? There's also the chance that I hadn't found a solution, installed VS2015 and followed the answer below. Sorry :/

I have tried that option to no avail. I'll try running a repair of the program to see if that helps. It's a strange problem.

The steps to Add a Reference in Visual Studio is:
Go to the Project option in the top toolbar.
Add Reference
option(Roughly the 10th option from top).In the reference
manager choose the appropriate reference that you want.
I am using Visual Studio 2015 community edition but I believe the process is same for 2017 edition.
