Actually, to be a little more specific, whenever
I recompile the DLL it ALWAYS tells me that the
interface has changed and will breakthe
compatability... I can compile it the DLL,
then immediately compile it again
and still gives me this message.
That's actually a problem inside your Dll-Project,
wich you have to solve first...
What you can do is:
Switch your Dll-Project to "no compatibility".
Compile the Dll.
Close the VB-Dll-Project.
Name this Dll to e.g. MyCompDll.Bin
Restart the VB-Dll-Project.
Switch to Binary-Compatibility again and set
'MyCompDll.Bin' as the "compare-source".
Now your Compiling-Problems should be
gone.
If not, look for any "Code-Inspector-Addins" or
something of that stuff and deactivate them, just
to look, if this is the reason. Or do a Registry-
Cleanup (by hand) for all Entries regarding
your Dll.

As soon as your BinComp-Dll-Project recompiles
without warnings, your other problems
(recompiling your dependent Projects)
are non-existent.
