Just a word of warning as I have fallen for this one a time or two and I should know better. Recently, I had a need to change the name of my site columns which meant of course I had to update my content types that were using it. After, I did this, I discovered, that my ItemEventReceivers were no longer firing. It was certainly strange behavior. Then I remembered, I needed to reset IIS (or cycle the app pool or whatever), to drop the cache on the content type before reactivating the feature with the changes in it.
