Linker Tools Error LNK1312

invalid or corrupt file: unable to import assembly

When building an assembly, a file other than a module or assembly compiled with /clr was passed to the /ASSEMBLYMODULE linker option. If you passed an object file to /ASSEMBLYMODULE, just pass the object directly to the linker, instead of to /ASSEMBLYMODULE.

Examples

The following sample created the .obj file.

// LNK1312.cpp
// compile with: /clr /LD
public ref class A {
public:
   int i;
};

The following sample generates LNK1312.

// LNK1312_b.cpp
// compile with: /clr /LD /link /assemblymodule:LNK1312.obj
// LNK1312 error expected
public ref class M {};
