Hi, I'm making an active x user control. Its almost complete. the web page
will reside on our IIS server. Now my question is:
What if I have to modify the code of the control and put it out there? I
know when a user access a web page with an active x control and its not
installed it will download it and install it BUT what if I make a change and
re compile it? since the user already has the pervious version on their
machine how do I get it to update it with the new version? Thanks

WARNING!!! Make sure you set "Binary Compatibility" when you compile it
otherwise your user will always run the same old control, by setting Binary
compatibility your user will get the newest control every time they visit
the page.

What if I make a change to both the control and the IP address of our IIS

When you change the control it is marked as changed. If you change the whole
control then it should do the same thing. The address of your server
shouldn't make a difference as the comparison is done on the clients machine
not on the server.
