    Hi Guys,

    I was wondering, currently we are working on both 32bit and 64 bit applications with 10s of dlls which could be updated on a daily/weekly basis on client sites. We are using 64bit server apps with 32bit client apps.

    I was wondering if there was anyway of enforcing a certain app/dll could only be built, say in 64 bit mode?

    Thanks
    NEil

    What dot net language are you talking about here?

    If you mean c# then you can kind of get a solution going with the precompiler features available. You'll also need to change you're build scripts, etc to pass in the flag if on a 64-bit platform. Unfortunately the C# precompiler is very limited and doesn't posses the same flexibility that the C/C++ one does.
        // ...
#if !_WIN64
#error This application can only be built on 64-bit systems
#endif
   // ...

    So with this solution the build would fail on a 32-bit system.
