How to add references for Microsoft.BusinessData.dll and Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService.dll for a SharePoint 2013 Visual Studio Project

Recently I had issues in adding references for Microsoft.BusinessData and Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService for a SharePoint 2013 Visual Studio Project. Actually it took me time to find out their locations as one resides in ISAPI folder and other one is in GAC_MSIL. You will not find them by simply going for C:\Windows\Assembly on its default view.

To add them simply using Browse on “Add Reference” dialog on your Visual Studio Project.

Location of Microsoft.BusinessData : C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI


Location of Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService : C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService\v4.0_15.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c
