Open the controls toolbox in VS.Net.  Select the "General" category and
right-click anywhere on the pane.  Select Add/Remove items and navigate
to the Npgsql.dll located in your Postgresql install directory.  You'll
now have the Connection/Command/etc controls that you can place on
forms.

As an aside, I'd highly recommend learning how ADO.Net works at the
fundamental level so that you can (if necessary) code these things
manually instead of having to rely on the forms designer provided by
VS.Net.
