Re-registry...?

[sbudhisatrio]

i've create two active-x programs, the name is SVR and CLN (already in exe mode). that's only the simple processs, when i click a button in CLN program, the server sent a number to CLN and showing it (in a Label object). it's working....

then i put both of them in a sharing folder in one of my computer inside the network (let say as a server). and then i try to access and run them form other computer (let say as a client). first i run the SVR for registry...then and i access the CLN...click the button and it's working too...

next...i make a change in SVR, just the number that i want to sent then compiled it. the problem is begin...i can not directly run the CLN from pc-client...it's created an error and computer keep silent like hang . i have to clear the process with task-manager. but if i do run SVR after modification in pc-client before the CLN...it's working.

my question is...do i have to re-registry in every pc-client if i make a change in SVR program...or maybe somebody can help me to solve this problems. for your info...there are more than 50 pc-client running my application program.

thankyou

Whenever you recompile a COM component (regardless of type) it'll get a new CLSID which makes it into a complete new component. That is, it will do that unless you've set the Binary Compatibility option. You'll do that on the Component tab of the Project Properties dialog box. Select Binary Compatibility option and browse to your earlier compiled component. This will ensure new versions of the component is compatible with the earlier one and if it is (which means you haven't made any incompatible changes) it will keep the earlier CLSID within the component.
