    private DesignerReferencedAssemblies GetReferencedAssemblies(string fileName)
    {
        var defaultReferences = Path.GetExtension(fileName).ToLower().Equals(".vb") ?
            DesignerReferencedAssemblies.DefaultForVisualBasic :

    End Sub

    Private Function GetReferencedAssemblies(ByVal fileName As String) As DesignerReferencedAssemblies
        Dim defaultReferences = If(Path.GetExtension(fileName).ToLower().Equals(".vb"), DesignerReferencedAssemblies.DefaultForVisualBasic, DesignerReferencedAssemblies.DefaultForCSharp)
