I am using a .net component in Orchestration. I have
the .net component in GAC. Whenever i update the .Net
component it is not reflecting automatically in the
Orchestration. sometimes it throws exception that it can't
find the assembly.

My question is whether it is required to recompile the
orchestration when i change the .Net component. whether
there is anyway i can maintain the compatability without
recompiling the Orchestration.
Thanks
Sharon

Yes, there certainly is. For strong named components, versioning is done
according to the version number. Keep it the same (well, almost, there's a
few cases where you can avoid that) and you should be OK (as long as the
public interface is the same).

That said, you might need to restart the biztalk application host service
for it to grab the updated assembly...
