    I remember similar problems with some DLLs in the past. I never found a real solution for it (though it doesn't seem to happen with VS 2005 any more), but as a workaround it helped me to add the reference to the .csproj file directly using an XML editor. You might want to try that if you haven't already.

    I have the dll. I try to add it as a reference to see it in the object browser and it crashes IDE.

    This dll is unmanaged dll, and its part of a network sniffing tool, I found on the net, and want to see what it contains to understand how it works.
