asp.net page won't work with dll, what am I omitting?

[BLACKDOG157]

I bought a dll, put it in my website's BIN directory, and then put a
line in my asp.net page as follows:
Dim MyCrypt As BeanSoftware.Components.CommonCrypt = New
BeanSoftware.Components.CommonCrypt()
I don't have visual studio, so I put the line in with notepad.
But when I loaded the asp.net page in my browser, I got the following
error message:

Compiler Error Message: BC30002: Type
'BeanSoftware.Components.CommonCrypt' is not defined

Am I omitting something? Should I be importing some namespace? Or am
I doing something else wrong?

Thanks.

You need to reference the DLL. You should consider using a FREE ide, such
as Web Matrix for 1.x (http://www.asp.net/webmatrix/) or Express for 2.0
(http://www.asp.net/default.aspx?tabindex=7&tabid=46)

Otherewise, if you are using a command line compiler, you can use
/r:ASSEMBLY.DLL to reference the file.
