You need to reference the specific namespace you are using in the .dll file. For example, (in C#) if you were to use the DotNumerics package for Linear Algebra you'd have to code the following:
using DotNumerics.LinearAlgebra;
using DotNumerics;
Similarly, for MathNet.Iridium:
using MathNet.Numerics;
using MathNet.Numerics.LinearAlgebra;
