How do I refernce objects from tlb library in my code using VB?

I have a tlb library which I've added to my project as an 'existing item'.  I can object browse to some of the components and the one I would like to use.  

If I object browse I can find it:

Class CustomerWebAssistant
    Member of EncryptionSupport

then if I try to instantiate the class in my code:

Dim cwAssistant As New EncryptionSupport.CustomerWebAssistant

I get the error that it is undefined.

Please help

Did you add a reference to the file?

I can't do an imports on it, says includes no public namespace or cannot be found.

Also I am already inheriting another class.

If I try to add it as a reference it states it is not a valid assembly or com component.
This tlb is actually used in legacy code using the following statements:

       cwAssistant = Server.CreateObject("Cogsdale.Encryption.CustomerWebAssistant")
            result = cwAssistant.getDecryptedValue(result, Session("KeysFileLocation"))

but these do not work,it errors on the first one if I tried using those stating it cannot create the object.
