Yup I have experiece but not using CF to call them but using VB instead.
You have to use DCOM (distributed COM). If the COM object changes it will
get recompiled and re-registered so when your app creates an instance of the
object these changes will be reflected. It's been a while since I looked at
DCOM but if I remeber correctly the COM object must be out of process i.e.
it is a .exe (runs in it's own process space) as opposed to a dll.
As far as performance goes it all depends on what the COM object does. If
it throws back loads of data to your app then I guess there will be a
performance hit otherwise I can't see it being an issue.

Subject: Remote COM Objects
Does anybody have any experience with using Remote COM Objects?
is there a big performance difference?
What happens when the remote COM object changes?
and help or documentation here would be great.
