XNA - How to "install" Lidgren?

Question

How do I use Lidgren.Network? I mean, "install" it so I can use it in my project? Because I would love to get started with simple multiplayer games, but I can't find any good tutorials online, but I've heard that Lidgren.Network is good :D

I tried to just drag the Lidgren.Network into the project, but I couldn't use it that way, I guess it was a really bad idea..

And also, if I make a game using Lidgren.Network for networking, will I be able to sell it? And if not, will I be able to upload it at all?

Answer 1

You need to add the Lidgren.dll as a reference to your project. Take a look at the picture below (Made in VS 2012, but same for any other editions)

Hit browse and find your Lidgren dll.
