Right, recompiling with no changes does not change the auto-generated GUIDs. Note that auto-generated LIBIDs and CLSIDs are based off of the assembly's version number, and by default, Visual Studio .NET projects are marked with a version of "1.0.*" (inside AssemblyVersionAttribute). This will cause your GUIDs to change on re-compile unless you change it to be a fixed version.

However, a recompile with no changes does not cause the guids to change. In fact, I just tested that to make sure the docs were correct. I recompiled your code below numberous times without making any changes to the source and the generated GUIDs were always the same. -- Brent Rector, .NET Wise Owl Demeanor for .NET - an obfuscation utility http://www.wiseowl.com/Products/Products.aspx You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
