Recompiling removes previously added references in VS17 solution

CodeEditors

-

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open attached project
2. Open .sln file with Visual Studio 17 in the project directory
3. In solution explorer right click on References
4. Select 'Add Reference'
5. Add 'System.ComponentModel.Composition' library
6. Open "testScripts.cs" (in the solution) - no errors appear
7. Close VS solution (save the changes you've made)
8. Create a new c# script in the Editor to trigger recompilation
9. Open .sln file with Visual Studio 17 in the project directory

Expected behavior: previously added 'System.ComponentModel.Composition' reference is saved and doesn't get removed after recompilation
Actual result: 'System.ComponentModel.Composition' reference is gone and needs to be added once again

Reproducible with: 2017.1.0b6

    I didn’t get your instructions as they are very complicated why don’t you upload a tutorial video about this just record a simple video and post it. I need to know something ones and I visited this https://www.topbritishwriters.com/essaybox-review/ site and they not even give written instruction but also gave video tutorial and I love that.

    This regard my last comment. Adding a file named mcs.rsp with "-r:System.ComponentModel.Composition" (dont put the quotes) at the asset folder allow to use system.componentmodel.composition and maybe other.

    Adding the System.ComponentModel.Composition. To the asset folder allow compilation at the editor, but it fails to load the dll at build.

    I would like to add that this also happens with all System.Threading .dlls and System.Windows.Forms.dll.
