You can always directly include this file to your project then use button in the code to dynamically generate a button. But if you want to use it like the button from toolbar, you have to do special thing if you are using Visual studio 2003.
If you are using Visual Studio 2005 or 2008, it is very easy.
1)Add you button.cs to you project.
2)Include its namespace.
3)From toolbar, you will find out there is one more category with "Pointer" "button" in it, which is the customized button you just created!!!
