Add a reference to the dll by right-clicking on the projects
"References" folder. This is the normal way to add references.

The "using" isn't actually a reference, it's just a convenient way to
avoid having to use full namespaces in your code. Namespaces don't
necessarily correspond to assemblies.

The <add assembly...> is only used by ASP.NET, though when you add
references to your project, MD updates the web.config as necessary...
