Change to VB6 COM Component requires recompile of .NET app?

[JCBrinegar]

Here is the question:

We have a .NET service that makes calls to (using interop) COM+
components compiled under VB6. If we make changes to a VB6 COM
Component, without breaking compatability, will we have to recompile
the .NET service?

If so, is there any possible way that we can use the new VB6 COM
Component without having to recompile the .NET service?

Any helpful information/suggestions would be great...

Thanks,
JCBrinegar

No, not as long as the interop assembly is compatible with the COM component
