To Add a Reference all you have to do is Right Click on 'References' and then Add Reference, It will open up the Reference Manager Window where you can select the library to reference. When you compile you web application you can see the DLL in bin folder.

thanks for your reply. project is a web site not window application . I found that right click "bin" folder then select "add reference ", as a result , one line will be added in web.config " <add assembly="Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A"> " under assembly node . does this mean adding reference successfully ?

oh, yes. it work now .VS IDE just add the assembly into web.config .
