Have you seen:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs_snapshot/netcdf-install.html#Using-the-DLL-with-Visual-Cplusplus-6
and
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs_snapshot/netcdf-install.html#Using-the-DLL-with-Visual-Cplusplus-NET

Have you tried opening the solution file in the win32/NET of the source 
distribution? (You must get the netcdf-3 snapshot distribution for this. Get it 
here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/builds/snapshot/)

If you build the solution it will build and run several tests, all of which 
link to the netCDF library.

Finding the .h file and the libraries is a function of your development 
environment. In visual studio, you open the properties window of your project, 
then select the C/C++ preprocessor tab, and there is a way to set which 
directories are searched for .h files, etc. 

Thanks,

Ed
