Adding Libraries to Visual Studio 2012

[high-Q]

I'm practicing by re writing the example on http://na.tm.agilent.com/pna/help/WebHelp7_5/Programming/GPIB_Example_Programs/Getting_and_Putting_D...

but I seem to have a problem adding the 488.2 ("GPIB") reference to Visual Studio Express 2012. All the documention I'm finding is for Visual Basic 6.0 which was about 2 US presidents ago and very irrelivent with respect to 2012. 

Anyone know how to add the NI 488.2 drivers to Visual Studio Express 2012?

Thanks for any help!

I am not sure why you are choosing to use that example when NI installed plenty of examples in C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI-VISA\Examples\DotNET4.0

Awesome, I didn't realize those existed in that directory. It worked fine on my Win 7 box but they are not there on my WinXP box. Is there something I have to install (I might have installed it on my Win 7 box without realizing it).

Nevermind. I realized I had to re-run the NI installer.

FYI, .net 4.5 is not supported on XP (apparently) so I went ahead and installed the dotNet4.0 support.
