Default After each new dll compilation I have to set the reference to the dll in Excel again.

Roedd <<Oscar wedi ysgrifennu:

I
receive several warnings during compilation stating these
differences. They advice me to return to the 'old' projectname and
arguments in order to prevent this message to appear. I was wondering
how I can set the Binary Compatibility check with the new project as
reference instead of the old one.


Welcome to com dll hell.

Ignore the warnings and compile the dll. This will become the base dll for
all of your future developments. All past distribution of your project must
be recalled or abandoned. I hope that this will not cause you too much
trouble, but it must be done.

Create a copy of the dll and rename it to [yourdllname].cpt

Now set the binary compatibility of the VB project to this (*.cpt) file.

Remember that from now on you have a contract with your project: You WILL
NOT change names of properties or methods and you WILL NOT change their
arguments. By all means add new properties and/or methods, and hide obsolete
ones, but stick to the contract or you will be back in com dll hell. I've
been there. It's not a nice place.
