1. Install an ImageMagick binary release

Download ImageMagick-6.3.3-3-Q16-windows-dll.exe. Start the installation with a double-click on the downloaded file. Keep the defaults but on the "select additional tasks" page select "Update executable path" and "Install development headers and libraries for C and C++":
 

2. Create a new c++ class library project in Visual Studio 2005

 In Visual Studio 2005 select File / New / Project.:
 

Select Visual C++ / Class Library as the project type, use MagickNet as the project name:

Copy the MagickNet source code into the folder of the created project, overwriting existing files:

Select the "Show all files" icon to display the copied source files in Visual Studio 2005:

Add the copied source files to your project:

3. Adjust project settings

Select the release build of the project. Right click on the "MagickNet" project item and select "Properties" to show the project settings:

Choose the "C++ / General" item and add the path to the installed ImageMagick include directory to the "additional include directories" option:

Choose the "Linker / General" item and add the path to the installed ImageMagick lib directory to the "additional library directories" option:

Choose the "Linker / Input" item and add "CORE_RL_magick_.lib" to the "additional dependencies" option:

Choose the "General Properties / References" item and add System.Drawing to the references list:

Compile. You will get compile errors. Fix them through replacing all occurences of color->R, color->G, color->B and color->A with color.R, color.G, color.B and color.A.

Compile again. You will get 6 warnings that I have not investigated further because a few tests showed me that the created "MagickNet.dll" is working properly.

Happy imaging!
