Creating a .NET Assembly in VS2005

I have a project I inherited that was originally written for VS .NET
2003. I was able to create a .dll that would work with a third party
product that would allow us to communicate with .NET webservices from
Java. I have since installed VS 2005, added the Web Templates as well
as the update that allows those templates, but I can't seem to get the
assembly to be recognized as a .NET assembly, even though the project
was updated. I also tried to create a new project from scratch, using
the Web Control Library template but still no dice. How do you create
a .NET assembly with VS 2005?
 
I apologize for answering a question with a question, but how do you NOT
create a .Net assembly with VS 2005?

I've been doing add-in development lately so I work in projects of type
"Extensibility" and those seem to automatically create assemblies,
complete with registration.

Maybe you need to select a different project type?

Each project type creates an assembly (except if your doing native c++
code). A library project creates a dll assembly. A console and windows
project creates an exe assembly.
