I have VB .Net Standard Edition. Is it possible to create DLLs with that?
Essentially, I have subroutines that I use in different programs, and I would
like to reference them without having to copy them into each program. How do
I do this?

Well, with the Standard Edition, you can't do it through the IDE. You'll have to
create a normal application (Windows Form Application) and save it. Close the
solution and open the .vbproj file you just created (open it with notepad or
other text editor). Change the BuildType from "WinExe" to "Library" and
save/close the text editor. Now just open it with the .Net ide and voila.

I don't know how "LEGAL" this is so you may want to make sure it is before you
do. I don't see a problem with it because you can create an entire .Net
application w/o the IDE.
