You cannot use Office Interop in an ASP.NET application, or any other server-based application. Please see Considerations for server-side Automation of Office, and please don't try it.

a windows class library will work just fine in asp.net. however, if you make a windows from control (or user control, etc) the control (etc.) will NOT work in asp.net.

all you have to do is add a reference to the assembly in your project. If your assembly references other assemblies, you will probably have to reference those in your project as well. As long as you do not attempt to create instances of controls that have a informs UI, you should be OK.
