Rail.

You want to add a reference to the .NET/Link in your project.

With visual studio you can Browse many objects, but until it is part of you 
project (include) you can't truly use it.

Create a Windows Application project. Under "Project" > Add Reference,  find 
and choose MathKernel  (Wolfram.NETLink) namespace.

If you need design time tools such as the MathPictureBox, 
DoubleBufferedPanel, MathKernel etc.. you can add component to your toolbox. 
When you drag and drop these components on you Form  it will add the proper 
reference to your project and will add the appropriate windows form designer 
generated code. You can look at that code for examples of how to initialize 
this object yourself.

There should be sample files with your Mathematica installation  look under

\AddOns\NETLink\Examples\Part2

Additionally the .NETLink API Help files contains all the info you need. 
Look under the Mathematica Help Browser Add-ons & Links > Part 2 ...:
Use links to examples and API help.

That's it.
