Utilizing COM objects inside ASP.NET using C#

[Calvin]

Hi all,

I am working with a team of programmer each working on
different modules for a ASP.NET web application. One
programmer is working on a COM objects with its interfaces
fixed. In order to utilize the COM object, I have to copy
it to my local machine and add it as a reference for my
ASP.NET web application. Everytime he modifies something
in the implementation, I have to copy it again and
recompile in order to generate the interop file.

Is there any other proper way for this situation? I mean
not compiling the project w/ his COM objects? Coz it seems
this has discard the benefits of a COM objects, where we
just need to register it and not recompile w/ it.

Thanks for all kinds of help.

If the COM programmer is creating his COM objects according to all the rules
of Binary Compatibility, then you should not have to recompile. If that
doesn't work, have him keep the same version information and see if that has
an effect.
