Debug version of LIB/DLL isn't linking with caller

[Guest]

I have a very strange problem trying to link the debug version of my caller
application with one of my DLL's using .NET 2K5. The linker declares the
following error (one of many):

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
__imp_?MyExportedObject@@YAXW4MsgCategory@@PB_WK1@Z


When I perform a 'dumpbin' on the debug version of my DLL and its
corresponding LIB file, MyExportedObject has the following export signature
in both dumps:

?MyExportedObject@@YAXW4MsgCategory@@PBGK1@Z


However, the *release* version of my DLL and its LIB file has the following
signature:

?MyExportedObject@@YAXW4MsgCategory@@PB_W@Z

So, I can link the release version of my DLL to both the debug and the
release versions of my caller, but I have no such luck trying to link the
debug version of the DLL. This seems to only be a problem with the .NET 2K5
compiler; I wasn't having this problem with 2K3. It's as if the debug
version isn't using the lib file supplied to it or it's otherwise making a
determination about the symbols that's only compliant with the release
version of the dll. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

The LIB and DLL of the release version had the correct signature:

?MyExportedObject@@YAXW4MsgCategory@@PB_WK1@Z
