How to import a net assembly

Question

I downloaded zlib.NET and there's a file that I must import,its named "zlib.net.dll".

My question is :How do I import that file so I can use it in C# Express 2008 like "System.zlib.etc"?

Thanks.

You need to add a reference to the assembly:

• Copy the DLL into some appropriate directory (I usually create a lib directory somewhere near the code).
• Open up Visual Studio and load the solution.
• In Solution Explorer, find the "References" item and right-click on it.
• Select "Add Reference..."
• Change to the "Browse" tab and navigate to the DLL

After that you should be able to use it in your code.
