I'm new on this, so Thanks in Advance. I'm trying to add a Dll on my new project on .NET but it doesn't appear on Solution explorer. I can't even import on the code file. It's there any limitation adding dll on express edition? I'm so newbie on .NET technology.

Sorry. It has been a decision by Microsoft to remove Reference from the default view to reduce the 'clutter'. However, your 'Show All Files' setting will persist when you save your project. So if you show all files once and then save, then it will always be on.
You can also see your References in the Project designer, which you can always keep open in a tab.
To add a reference in Visual Basic
In Solution Explorer, double-click the My Project node for the project.
In the Project Designer, click the References tab.
Click the Add button to open the Add Reference dialog box.
In the Add Reference dialog box, select the tab indicating the type of component you want to reference.
Select the components you want to reference, then click OK.
In the opened window you are able to see whether your dll is referenced or not. If it is showing error when you are adding dll reference then please update.
