You shouldn't have to download it; it should be included with the .NET Framework. If you are using Visual Studio:

  1. Right click on References, in Solution Explorer under the project you want the reference included in.
  2. Click Add Reference....
  3. Click the .NET tab.
  4. Select Microsoft.VisualBasic.

If you're not using VS, just Google how to do it in your IDE or with the command line. The assembly you're looking for is Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll.
