C# work with dll file

Question

For a C# 2008 application I need to add a specfic dll file to an existing application and have all the project files that need to work with it reference this dll file. Since I have never added a dll file to a solution and I have very limited experience working with C# can you tell and/or show me how to add a dll file to a C# 2008 solution file and have all the applicable project files access this required dll file?

Right Click on References in Solution Explorer. Click Add Reference 3. Select Browse Tab 4. Browse to the path where the DLL is located and select the DLL you want to refer. 5.
