ASP.NET Trouble importing a DLL

I'm having a lot of trouble importing a DLL to use. I have an aspx page with no code behind, no virtual directories.

All I know about the DLL is it's filename 'GenerateExcel.dll' and namespace 'Xander.Utilities'. How do I import it with either of these

<%@ Assembly Src="./bin/GenerateExcel.dll" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="Xander.Utilities" %>

It's not working. I read the other threads on SO and still having trouble.

EDIT: I use it like this:

<script runat="server">

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //...
            Xander.Utilities.ExcelMaker em = new Xander.Utilities.ExcelMaker();
            //...        
        }

The answer was to do an <%@ Import Namespace="Xander.Utilities" %> and then put the DLL in the root's bin folder.

I'm not sure if this will work as I don't have your assembly, but you could try with or without the TagPrefix:

<%@ Register Assembly="GenerateExcel" Namespace="Xander.Utilities" TagPrefix="Util" %>

to call a dll from your program you need to include the System.Runtime.InteropServices classes

try:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices 
[DllImport("name.dll")]
private static extern int FunctionNameInDll();
