Referencing SDL2 in a Visual Studio C#

The graphics library Veldrid throws:

Could not find or load the native library from any name: [ SDL2.dll ]

when I try to run the example from the tutorial in a new C# Console Application, .NET v4.7.1.

When I try to reference the SDL2 dll, Visual Studio simply shows "A reference to 'C:\...\SDL2.dll' could not be added"

Do I need any additional wrappers? Veldrid.StartupUtilities is already supposed to be a simple wrapper for SDL2.

Do I need to use a different .NET version?

I right-clicked my project, selected Add > Existing Item, selected the SDL2.dll supplied with the Veldrid download, clicked Add > As Link, set its Property OnBuild to Copy if newer and everything worked.
