What's the difference in adding a reference?

What's the difference between adding a project reference in the Solution
Explorer and just putting a using (C#) or Imports (VB) at the top of the
code file?

Thanks for your help.

Even though you have a reference to an object,
let's say "myproject2.dll" in the reference, to access
its contents in a form, you must "imports myproject2"
and it must first be in the references. It needs to be in
both in other words.
