Today I got “error LNK2005: _DllMain@12 already defined in msvcrtd.lib” while linking some C++ CLI project with MFC support in MS Visual Studio 2013. As described in A LNK2005 error occurs when the CRT library and MFC libraries are linked in the wrong order in Visual C++A LNK2005 error occurs when the CRT library and MFC libraries are linked in the wrong order in Visual C++ article, I added /verbose:lib linker option:
With the release of Windows 8, Microsoft introduced a grate technology for combining XAML and DirectX together, letting us to place XAML controls over intensive real-time graphics, see DirectX and XAML interop (Windows Runtime apps using DirectX with C++) for more details.

where p.product_id == 131
select p;
product product = products.First();
return new ComplexData(product, "100 kg");
}
}
}
