Linker Tools Error LNK1306

DLL entry point function cannot be managed; compile to native

DllMain cannot be compiled to MSIL; it must be compiled to native.

To resolve,

• Compile the file that contains the entry point without /clr.

• Put the entry point in a #pragma unmanaged section.

• For more information, see

• /clr (Common Language Runtime Compilation)

• managed, unmanaged

• Initialization of Mixed Assemblies

• Run-Time Library Behavior

Example

The following sample generates LNK1306.

// LNK1306.cpp  
// compile with: /clr /link /dll /entry:NewDllMain  
// LNK1306 error expected  
#include <windows.h>  
int __stdcall NewDllMain( HINSTANCE h, ULONG ulReason, PVOID pvReserved ) {  
   return 1;  
}
