Do you have the dlls? If not, you have to buy them.

Visual Studio:

Copy the DLL into the folder of the project you may want to use, e.g. if your project is located under "C:\Temp\MyProject" and your DLL is located at "C:\DLLS\Mydll.dll", you need to copy "Mydll.dll" to "C:\Temp\MyProject".
Then, Start Visual Studio and go to the Project, Right Click the project name -> Add Reference -> Browse -> Browse... [Button in the bottom right corner] -> Select the Dll file at "C:\Temp\MyProject\Mydll.dll". Done.

In Visual Studio 2012 (may be the same for others)

Click On your References Menu item and

Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Web.UI, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

Yep,Best way is to get that dlls from the 'nugget package'.Then it'll update your references properly.
