The DataGridViewAutoFilterTextBoxColumn can be used in the DataGridView as shown below:

Copy the DataGridViewAutoFilter.dll file to the Bin folder of the project concerned
Open Visual Studio, right click on the Project concerned in the Solution Explorer and select the Add Reference menu option from the opened Context menu
In the Add Reference Dialog select the Browse tab page and select the DataGridViewAutoFilter.dll file by navigating to the folder in which it was copied
Now open the Form in design view, on which the DataGridView is placed
Right click on the DataGridView and select Edit columns menu option from the opened context menu
In the opened Dialog select the required column on the left hand side
Then on the right hand side select the DataGridViewAutoFilterTextBoxColumn from the drop down list for the column type

I hope this may serve the purpose.
