Upgrade the DLL

[Malchik]

Hi,

I know it is probably possible, but I don't know how. I created a DLL to take care of the security of my applications. All I have to do is to put in reference my 'Login.dll' in any VB project and call my login's functions.

If i make a change in the source code of the login.dll and recompile it. My applications will give me the 'can't create object' error. I have to recompile my application as well. Is there a way to set the VB application to refresh the references automaticaly without having to recompile?

Thanks for your help,
by the way i'm using VB6 sp5

Check out binary compatibility mode in help.

When you right click on your Project Name, and select properties, one of the tabs has a compatibilities option group. There is No Compatibility, Project Compatibility, and Binary Compatibility. These options control among other things, when new class guids are created for your objects. ie, No Compatibility generates new guids each time you compile, which would mean you would need to re-register the dll in the windows registery. When you refresh the references in VB, it actualy updates the windows registery to point to the new guids for you. Check these settings, you will probabably find that you are set to No Compatibility - change it to Binary Compatibility.
