As for me, I don't have a compile igraph DLL for Windows, but I know  
that it compiles without problems under Cygwin and/or MinGW using the  
GNU C compiler. (We do not support Microsoft compilers, though, mostly  
because we simply don't have regular access to Windows computers).  
Please try to install Cygwin and try to compile igraph from Cygwin.  
The basic steps are:

1. Download the igraph 0.5 C source code
2. Download Cygwin and install it. Select the following packages  
during installation (it might require more, though): gcc, libxml2,  
libiconv, make, automake, autoconf
3. Extract the igraph source in a separate directory inside your  
Cygwin home
4. Launch the Cygwin command line shell, change to the igraph source  
directory and enter the following commands:

./configure
make

5. If both commands succeeded, there will be a cygigraph-0.dll or  
something similar to that in the src/.libs subdirectory of the source  
tree -- although I don't know whether you will be able to use that  
later from Microsoft Visual Studio or not.

I'll be offline during the weekend, but should you need more help,  
keep on posting to the list and we'll try to figure it out.
