Microsoft.SPOT doesnt work in a winform application

I have a problem with my winform project.For a project I have a netduino and I made a class for the connection with the netduino. When I was done with that I made a winform project so when I pressed a button on the application the LED on the netduino turned on.

So now to the problem.

I tried to run the application but it gave a error. 

Error   1   The type or namespace name 'SPOT' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

How can i fix it so that it works with the windows form application.

    The namespace is in .NET Micro Framework. Thus, you cannot use it in WinForms applications.

    To connect to netduino and manipulate its hardware, your WinForms app should use a communication channel opened to the app running on netduino, such as via USB,
