I want use the Scintilla controls and the RadControls for Winforms, but I do not know how to incorporate the files. They are in .dll format? How do I use the controls if they are in .dll format?

Right click the project, click Add Reference, go to Browse tab, find them and add them.
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.
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).
This knowledge base article on the Telerik website explains how to manually add the controls to the toolbox in Visual Studio.

I've managed to successfully implement this custom TabControl project. I'm Building this TabControl project as a .dll file so I can drag it into my other project's toolbox and view the custom control in the designer but when I wanted to change something in the this custom TabControl project, when I rebuild the .dll file and drag it in the toolbox again, it doesn't update the existing custom controls in the designer.
When I ctrl+m1 the variables in the custom control in use, it links to read-only metadata.
Do I need to remove all the custom controls first whenever I make a change or is there a way to "update" existing custom toolbox items that are already in the designer?
I tested this issue in vs2019 and vs2022, and it worked perfectly.
When the dll is rebuilt, it does not need to be reloaded into the toolbox.
If the program page that depends on the dll is not updated, just rebuild it.
My test environment is .Net Framework 4.8.
If you have any questions about this, please let me know and I will continue to follow up.

But I have trouble with point 4.2 Adding The NuGet features. I successfully installed the DockPanel Suite via Manage NuGet Packages. This application is WinForms in Visual Studio 2012. After this instalation I should see the DockPanel component in toolbox, but I cannot find it. I tryed everything but still nothing.
What you need to do is:
Open Solution Explorer.
Open the References folder of your project.
Find the reference named 'WeifenLuo.WinFormsUI.Docking'.
Right-click the reference, and then click Properties.
In the Properties window, find the Path item.
Double-click the value of the Path property in order to do a 'Select All,' on it, and then do a Copy to the clipboard.
Right-click the Toolbox, and then choose Choose Items from the menu.
Click Browse on the .NET Components tab.
Paste the path in the Browse dialog box's File name field, and then click Open.
A new checked item, DockPanel, should be visible in the list. Ensure that the check box next to it is checked, and then click OK.
After following these directions, then a DockPanel item should be visible, and you can just drag it to the Designer.
Please note, these directions are for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Premium.
The Elysium project on CodePlex looks interesting. One problem. I can't figure out how to use it. I can only assume that there is an assumption that the user knows what he or she is doing. I don't apparently. I download the Debug Binary from here. It has a batch file for loading the files, and it looks to have run without error. But I can't figure out where to go from here. When I open Blend, I see no templates or themes. Can someone please help?
Thanks
Download the binaries either from Codeplex or Nuget.
Add references to the binaries: Elysium.Theme.dll, Microsoft.Expression.Interactions.dll, Microsoft.Windows.Shell.dll and System.Windows.Interactivity.dll
Note: some of the binaries that come with the package aren't added correctly if you do it via Nuget so you'll have to add them manually.
When you add a new window to your application, add this namespace to your XAML: xmlns:metro="http://schemas.codeplex.com/elysium/theme"
Then change your XAML so that the window isn't just a <Window ..>...</Window> but is instead a <metro:Window ..>...</metro:Window>.
There are lots of other examples in the test project on the Elysium site which show how to use the custom controls, etc.
That should get you started.
Best of luck.
For Elysium 1.5 onwards, here's the step
Download and extract zip file.
Look for "Elysium.dll" and "Elysium.Notifications.dll". You might need to extract a zip again if you are using x86 system.
Add reference to both Elysium.dll and Elysium.Notifications.dll
Add Elysium theme controls at the visual studio toolbox
Drag and drop any Elysium theme control to your user interface, visual studio will automatically add the xmlns reference in the xaml.
Refer http://bizvise.com/2012/09/24/how-to-install-elysium-on-visual-studio-project/ for a complete step by step guide.
For Elysium Version 2.0, here's what I did:
Download the SDK here.
Extract the .zip file.
Install the correct .exe file (x86 or x64).
Restart your Visual Studio (if opened).
Create a new project with WPF Metro application:
Finally, you can add the controls manually on your toolbar:
If you like this extension, then you can donate on their website.
Download SDK from here and intall the SDK. It integrates with Visual Studio and you have Metro WPF template as well.
I entered in work with Telerik RadControls. In web.config telerik set in many places. But can anyone give me algorithm how in new project asp.net (web application) in Visual Studio 2010 add dll? (dll library I have)
If you want to add the items to the toolbox so you can do Drag And Drop, do this:
1). Open Visual Studio
2). Open a new project (or existing)
3). Find your "toolbar" window in VS.
4). Right click in the tool bar white space (somewhere where there are no existing controls)
5). Click "Add Tab"
6). Name this tab "Telerik"
7). Now, right click again, and hit "Choose items"
8). A Window will pop open, you can select your Telerik DLL, and it will fill the tool box with
all the controls you need.
You can then Drag and Drop these controls to your pages.
I hope this helps.
If you have Telerik installed on your Visual Studio machine, but it is not currently part of your project, the easiest way to add the proper Telerik DLLs and web.config entries would be to go to the Telerik menu at the top of your Visual Studio, and select Convert to Telerik Web Site.

I'm trying to follow this tutorial for an Accordion control in WPF:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/dpatra/538/
I am not super familiar with VS. I'm running VS2010, I right click on the Reference->Add Reference, go to the .NET tab, and I do not see any System.Windows.Controls. Am I missing something in order to follow this tutorial? Thanks.
It looks like you are trying to add a reference to a custom DLL form the WPF toolkit. To do this you will need to browse to the DLL on disk.
Select "Add Reference" from the project menu
Click on the Browse Tab
Navigate to the DLL on disk
Select it and hit OK
