Funny, someone was asking me that the other day.
Bin is where the final compiled code is stored.
Obj is where the compiler stores intermediate files...these are used for
incremental builds (if you build a 2nd time, it doesn't rebuild the entire
project and can reuse some of the stuff from the first time in obj to make
the build faster). C++ makes use of obj much more than C#/Vb.Net
Project reference references an existing project which is part of the
solution. Dll reference simply points to a DLL of the file (if you pick DLL
reference, make sure to reference the file from the bin folder (the better
of two evils, in my opinion)). If you have the time and/or inclination,
check out

for more details on this last question. Personally, I prefer project
references whenever possible (ie, when the source code is within my
control).
