Lukas, all you need is to add a reference to HDF5DotNet.dll . No references are needed for the unmanaged DLLs (hdf5_hldll.dll etc.)
I don't have vs2008, but 2010 should be pretty similar. In the 'Add Reference' dialog, are you using the 'Browse' tab to locate HDF5DotNet.dll? Are you sure you are building against .NET 4 and your architecture is x64? Best, G.

I tried to fallow the guides and see all relevant topics in the HDF5 forum, but my issue remain. I am not able to add the required dll files to the project. Error_1: Project --> Properties --> Add preferences / When I am adding the HDF5DotNet.dll (1.8.8) no error shows up but the path to the file shows "The system cannot find the reference specified" even though all the other referenced dll:s are in the same folder. Error_2: Project --> Properties --> Add preferences / When trying to add independly the 1.8.8 dll:s to the project hdf5_hldll.dll hdf5dll.dll szip.dll zlib.dll The fallowing popup screen is coming: "xxx.dll could not be added. Please make sure the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component." I mean the dll should work undependly VS language? Can somebody give me a step by step instruction? (Stucked even before trying the class/lib out.) BR //Lukas Karlsson
