Is there a way to build a VB.net shell and when I make changes to it and redistribute it I do not have to recompile (rebuild it). This is a little vague but hopefully someone has done this and can send me suggestions or code. Thanks.

Welll..... the only way that I know of is to build something into your app that does runtime compiling of the components. This is kinda inefficient in my opin, but you may find the following article helpful:
Generating and Compiling Source Code Dynamically in Multiple Languages
I could see this being usefull to allowing plugins, or to allow the user to enable scripting in the app... but for the application itself.... I dunno...
Mind if I ask why you'ld want to do it this way?

-ps there's a risk to this too... it means distro-ing the source code, which means ANYONE could monkey with it.
