I believe that in order to integrate Haskell (or any other language) into VisualStudio.NET you need access to a commercial product, VSIP (Visual Studio.NET Integration Program,
As I understand it, yes you do.
My interest is also on trying to get some Haskell support in VS.NET. I haven't got as far as knowing if this can be distributed freely afterwards (I mean, as a free plug-in for someone who already has VS.NET licenses), but I thought this would be possible, since there is for example the Mondrian for .NET plug-in (I assume they used VSIP for that).
Integrated languages can be distributed freely. There are different QA conditions imposed on commercial and educational VSIP holders. The Mondrian plug-in uses VSIP & Daan's work.
I thought that the work of Daan did at MS was in a VS version before VS.NET (I may be wrong), or maybe it wasn't packaged as a plug-in for VS (just guessing).
Daan's work was original done *in* VS 6 but produces code which will work with VS .NET (VS 7). If you wish to find out about getting VSIP and/or accessing Daan's work I suggest in the first instance you contact Microsoft University Relations for your country, or if they don't cover your country (they're not in NZ for example, most of Europe is I think covered), contact them in the US.
