Right click the project, click Add Reference, go to Browse tab, find them and add them.

Answer 2

Generally you would add them to the project you want to use them in, then add a reference, and then use them like any other dll.

For installing into the GAC, see this.

Answer 3

In the winforms toolbox, right click and "Choose Items...", then click the browse button and find the dll. Then go through the list of controls, and check the controls that you've added (usually it will do this step for you).

Answer 4

This knowledge base article on the Telerik website explains how to manually add the controls to the toolbox in Visual Studio.
