Unmanaged Exports: Cannot compile assembly

Question

I want to create a .NET assembly that can be accessed from unmanaged code (Delphi 5). I have found Unmanaged Exports and followed the steps there but I am unable to successfuly compile even the basic example: ``` using RGiesecke.DllExport; namespace DelphiNET { public class Class1 { [DllExport("add")] public static int Add(int left, int right) { return left + right; } } } ``` `DelphiNET.csproj` project file: ``` ... ... ``` Here is the error: ``` ------ Build started: Project: DelphiNET, Configuration: Release Any CPU ------ c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Csc.exe /noconfig /nowarn:1701,1702 /errorreport:prompt /warn:4 /define:TRACE /debug:pdbonly /filealign:512 /optimize+ /out:obj\Release\DelphiN…

Accepted Answer

Incidentally, I just updated the archive. You can even get it all laid out for you, when you take this instead.

It's a project template that sets everything up and should work just fine.

I did find some points in the previous version, where I made some assumptions that weren't always true. And one potential problem with my previous implementation was the /optimize switch which is used for release configurations. Sometimes ILAsm would choke on the IL in that case, I haven't seen that with the new version.
