I'm trying to reference to a .dll file from a .aspx web page. However, I get the following error:
Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: There is no build provider registered for the extension '.dll'. You can register one in the <compilation><buildProviders> section in machine.config or web.config. Make sure is has a BuildProviderAppliesToAttribute attribute which includes the value 'Web' or 'All'.
Source Error:
Line 2: <%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="CSharpBPTestMaster.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="CSharpBPTest.aspx.cs" Inherits="Button" Debug="true"%>

Line 6:

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I build the .csproj file. I have the following in bin\Debug\
:
- Balanced.dll
- Balanced.pdb
- BalancedTest.dll
- BalancedTest.pdb
Here is my CSharpBPTest.aspx
:
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="CSharpBPTestMaster.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="CSharpBPTest.aspx.cs" Inherits="Button" Debug="true"%>
<%@ Register tagprefix="blnc" tagname="Balanced" src="bin/Debug/BalancedTest.dll" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1"
Runat="Server">
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Button ID="button1" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClick="Button_Command"/>
<br />
<br />
<br><asp:label id="warningLabel" Text="" ForeColor="Red" runat="server"/><br>
<br />
</div>
</form>
</asp:Content>
And in my C# file, I "import" the project like this (at the top):
using Balanced;
I want to be able to use this compiled .dll file on my C# side. The Balanced.dll is an external library. It just came with the files and a .csproj file. I did a build and now I'm trying to use this Balanced.dll file. Am I missing something? I'm sorry if this is a bad question. I'm new to asp.net and csproj.
