It seems to me you are mixing namespaces and classes.

Based on your descriptions and code, I will assume that
"Solution6.Cio.FileOpening" refers to the namespace you wish to use.
It does not make sense to instantiate a namespace (which is what it seems
like you attempt to do in your "...As New..." code).

You need to identify the class within the "Solution6.Cio.FileOpening"
namespace
you want to use. When you have done so, you can instantiate it using "...As
New MyClass".
There is no need to explicitly qualify the class with
"Solution6.Cio.FileOpening" -
the imports is simply a means to avoid the hassle of having to fully qualify
classes all over the place.

Hope this helps.
