Is the Bin folder right under the root of the site? And I have no idea what "xxx" means. I assure you that it works - I have several asp.net websites that are not applications. You have not posted any code so there is not much more anyone can tell you.
You don't need to "add reference" for a website for code you are putting in the Bin yourself. Again, since I have no visibility to what you are doing, I can't tell what is wrong.
Yes, the dlls are already in the bin folder, yet still same issue<br>

Is there some kind of vs logs in vs2015 that i can refer to , to see what is wrong with vs not detecting my dll?
Whats the use of providing code when it cant detect my dll
How about installing it into the global assembly cache?
(Note:Each computer where the common language runtime is installed has this machine-wide code cache. The global assembly cache stores assemblies specifically designated to be shared by several applications on the computer.)
Add the file to GCA
gacutil.exe /i MyFile.dll
Then you can get the version and
gacutil /l MyFile

ASP.net web site unable to reference dll
Feb 14, 2018 07:28 AM|z080236|LINK
I could add reference to one of my custom made dlls in ConsoleApp, and Web application(Add reference)
But when I added reference to WebSite, and tried to import namespace, it complains the following:
The type of namespace xxxx could not be found. (are you missing a directive or assembly reference)?

In a website, put the dll in the Bin folder. Add a using statement in the code behind.

Hi z080236,
How about installing it into the global assembly cache?
(Note:Each computer where the common language runtime is installed has this machine-wide code cache. The global assembly cache stores assemblies specifically designated to be shared by several applications on the computer.)
Add the file to GCA
gacutil.exe /i MyFile.dll
Then you can get the version and
gacutil /l MyFile
