CLR/CLI linker fails with error LNK2022 - Custom attributes are not consistent

Question

Environment: Visual Studio 10, CLR/CLI Class Library project, built with Platform Toolset v100, targeting framework version

Answer 1

Remove the _WIN32_WINNT=0x0500 definition from the C/C++ Preprocessor

Apparently for some reason the above preprocessor definition did not agree with the linker, causing the linker errors. I assume this is some internal Microsoft bug (?), but not sure. Anyway, after removing this preprocessor definition all built and linked correctly.

Hope this information is useful.
