尝试添加对我的解决方案的引用

Question

I am a complete stranger to adding "custom" references to my projects, usually everything I need I can find in NuGet packages. Ive come across a problem and the solution I've found is to add the following reference to my project:

https://microsoftdwayneneed.codeplex.com/

Ive downloaded the source code, opened up the project in VS and hit build. I then went into the bin/Release folder and added the .dll for both Win32 and normal which I assume is any CPU.

The problem I faced earlier is now fixed, however now a new problem arised: I keep getting the message that the Microsoft Visual Studio XAML UI Designer has stopped working. The error it gives is a NullReferenceException and in the name is "dwayneneed" so I can only assume that I messed up adding the reference.

Can someone explain to me how to add references like the one above correctly to my solution.
