First, this is a really bad idea. And this is not what can really work. You can add this reference, of course, but what will you do with it? This assembly is for creating UI. And where this UI will be shown, to whom? To the personnel working in the server room? :-)

Perhaps you just don't have an idea on how Web works, but set it aside for now.

And, if you don't know how to add references, stop pretending you are developing in .NET. And stop trying to develop anything. First, learn the basics; first of all, read on what assembly is and how it's used, conceptually, and what is assembly name, strong name, and other important properties. Cookbook recipe on how to work with references is nothing good; you need to have fundamental understanding. These topics are way too important.

And of course, forget about Web development and UI development before you feel comfortable with basics. Don't waste your time and create unwanted frustration.
