Returning Strings from DLL Functions

Question

For some reason, returning a string from a DLL function crashes my program on runtime with the error Unhandled exception at 0x775dfbae in Cranberry Library Tester.exe:

Just like snmacdonald I was unable to repro your crash, under normal circumstances. Others already mentioned: Configuration Properties -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library must be exactly the same

If I change one of them I get your crash. I have both the DLL and EXE set to Multi-Threaded DLL.
