The most recent TaoFramework doesn't have DevIL binding in its sources.

I searched, and I found an older version of Tao, previsely here. From there, you can compiler Tao.DevIL library, which requires DevIL 1.6.8 RC2, which you can find it here; download the binary, or compile your self the project from the sources.

Make to sure have the DLL in you path.

If you want to run on Windows, I suppose you shall modify the sources in order to point correctly to the DLL file; if running on 64 bit platform, I suppose you shall point to the 64 bit version of DevIL.

(You're lucky, I've investigated just right now).
