I drop and re-register a serviced component every time there is a new method
or a change in the parameters of an existing method.

I found out that even if I keep the old version of the component in COM+ and
simply replace the assembly, it still works. I don't use COM+ clients, so
there is no interop involved in calling the component. New methods are not
visible in COM+ snap-in but .NET clients seems don't have problems calling
it (since they rely on metadata).

Is it ok not to reinstall the component in COM+? What ramifications can it
have?

Thanks,
