Create dll from existing VB.NET project in Visual Studio 2017

Question

At the moment I am migrating several projects from Visual Studio 2015 to Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise edition.

One of them is a VB.NET project, ODKWrapper, which provides a dll for other projects. The output path is specified, it should be created in../Run/Release. In VisualStudio2015 it worked well.

When I build the same project in Visual Studio 2017, no dll is generated and, even worse, a dll copied to the directory is deleted.

How can I create a dll from an existing project in Visual Studio 2017?

Thank you in advance.

I found the solution. When moving from VisualStudio2015 to VisualStudio 2017, the reference to log4net was lost. I had reset it and the project was all OK, but apparently on the wrong version of log4net. Now I've reconnected this reference and compiled as.dll works. Many thanks for your help.
