Question

I’ve added “Visual C++ CLR” project to my solution. Everything was build with no errors. Then In “Configuration Manager” I’ve changed “Win32” config to “x64”, because I need to compile for x64. And now my project can’t be built. I have a lot of errors which I don’t know how to fix

Why x64 configuration doesn’t work in c++-cli project?

upd I know think that likely project reference “32-bit” version of System, while I need “64-bit” version. Is this possible?

Answer 1

If you switch your project to /clr:safe it will target both 64 & 32 bit machine. Also,
consider that for each new configuration you need to set all your settings again.
