In my case the NDEBUG macro definition in the "Preprocessor Definitions" needed to be changed to _DEBUG. I am building a static library for use in a .exe which was complaining about the very same error listed in the question. Go to Configuration Properties ("Project" menu, "Properties" menu item) and then click the C/C++, section, then the Preprocessor section under that, and then edit your Preprocessor Definitions so that NDEBUG is changed to _DEBUG (to match the setting in the exe).
