Re: Very Confused: Class, Imports, ...

Sure, Miguel, you can do that without either.

Just open a command window ( cmd.exe );
make sure that the .Net Framework directory is in your path
( the .Net dir is where the compilers are located (vbc.exe, csc.exe));
navigate to the directory where you have your .vb files,
and run the compile command :

vbc /t:library /out:common.dll common.vb

If you need to import .Net classes, include them in your command line:
vbc /t:library /r:system.dll /r:system.web.dll /out:common.dll common.vb

common.dll will be created/compiled in the current directory.

Move it to the /bin directory of your application and fire away.
If you want to have VS.NET use it, reference it in your project.
