title: VBC.exe to build standalone dlls in "newer" .net frameworks. (4.6 specifically)
body: <p>I am working on upgrading an older &quot;compiler&quot; we have, which basically converts a spreadsheet into a .vb file, and then compiles it into a .net library.</p>
  <p>It uses vbc.exe to compile the .vb file. Right now it seems the latest version of dll I can create is going to be in .net 4.0. the vbc file resides here <code>C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.xxxx</code>. I know I have at least .net 4.6 installed, but i don't see a new directory for that. So I'm clearly oversimplifying this it seems.</p>
  <p>I think I read the vbc.exe is more or less turning legacy and only exists to support older applications? Is there a new way to build standalone dlls like we could using vbc.exe to compile in the latest .net versions?</p>
