The Measurement Studio tools that integrate into Visual Studio typically handle configuring your project correctly for licensing. Measurement Studio 7.1 was released long before Visual Studio 2005 was available. So, it unfortunately does not support Visual Studio 2005. You can use the libraries in Visual Studio 2005, but you have to handle the licensing yourself, manually.
The Measurement Studio help includes a help topic that describes how to handle the licensing manually. Check out the topic titled, "Licensing Measurement Studio .NET Class Libraries without Integrated Tools". To navigate to it in the table of contents, go to NI Measurement Studio Help>>NI Measurement Studio .NET Class Library>>Using the Measurement Studio .NET Class Libraries>>Licensing the Measurement Studio .NET Class Libraries>>Licensing Measurement Studio .NET Class Libraries without Integrated Tools.
I think that this topic will help you. I suspect that you just need to add a line to your .licx file to license the DataSocket class library.
Let me know if the topic helps, if not, please answer the following questions:
Do you have a .licx file in your project? What are the contents of the .licx file? Could you attach it to your response?
When looking for the license file, make sure that you configure the Solution Explorer window to show all files. The attached .bmp shows the toolbar button you need to click (circled in red) to make Solution Explorer show all files.
