Nicely explained. I am having issues with this, and it's been driving me nuts. Cheers

Can anybody tell me how we can target platforms in VS for C++ ?

There is one consequence of this that I just discovered. If you set the platform to x64 the imports table magically disappears from the assembly causing depends.exe to fail. This is a big problem.

A note on this:

I changed the target platform to x86 instead of "Any CPU". But, as soon as I specified a platform (x86) some namespaces/libraries/DLLs suddenly "could not be found".

Im using MySql connector, and that works without any problems if I use "Any CPU", but if I set it to either x86 or x64 then I get this:

The type or namespace name 'MySql' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

There are other DLLs that get the same error - it is NOT only MySql.

wanted to let everyone know, I not sure at this time why this happens...

Probably the biggest news of the week is that SQL Server 2008 RTM’d this week, and is already available on MSDN. A word of warning…if you have Visual Studio 2008 installed, you’re better off waiting until Monday when SP1 for Visual Studio 2008 ships

Hey, thanks for the tip, I actually wasn't aware of this setting, will be sure to take note of it now though!
