Question

I have successfully added other .dll files to other C# project this way:

Right click Reference > Add Reference > Browse > Double click the .dll file

but Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 issues the following complaint:

A reference to ...\dll\FreeImage.dll could not be added.
Please make sure that the file is accessible,
and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.

I am using .NET Framework 3.5. I believe this is a 32bit dll (it downloaded with FreeImage3151Win32) so I changed the configuration of the project to x86.

What is the correct method to add FreeImage.dll to a C# project?

Answer 1

Use the wrapper provided in the download. There are C# samples in the \Wrapper\FreeImage.NET\cs\Samples directory.
