GUILayer project sometimes fails to compile

[djewsbury]

Sometimes while compiling the GUILayer project, we get errors such as this:

error LNK2022: metadata operation failed (801311E4)

This is related to the combination of native C++ and managed C++ used in the GUILayer project. Unfortunately the root cause is not known; but my suspicion is it is related to forward declarations of some native classes.

There is a work around currently:

• If you get this error, just rebuild the single project "GUILayer"
  • To do this, right click the project in solution explorer, and select "Project Only > Rebuild"
  • This will rebuild GUILayer successfully, without rebuilding any other projects.

This work-around is helpful; but I would love to have a more reliable solution!
