Sorry, you need to read at least some introduction to .NET and C#, before getting to something more complex than simplest applications. Why won't you just look through Visual Studio UI to learn where all the pedals and levers are? This is easier than asking such questions and waiting for answers.

Well I hate to tell you this but if I were getting this error, I would probably add a using directive or an assembly reference.

Sorry, no. It's not "or". Assembly reference is a must, but "using" is not required, it's just allows to short top-level type names and has nothing to do with assembly-based modularity.

Uhm.... yes... if I were getting that error, I would add an assembly reference or a using statement. There is no "no" about it.

There is "no", believe or not. Just "using" cannot help, and "using" is not required, and adding reference is absolutely required...

You will need to add a reference to the AForge assembly to your project. Right Click n the project and select Add Reference.

Once you have added a reference to your project, in your source you can either refer to the classes using fully qialified names (AForge.something.SomethingElse) or you can ad a 'using' like using Aforge.something; and then refer to the classes in that namespace directly.
