A C++/Mixed project generates the following warning when compiled with a reference to a .NET assemply or project that is set to x86.

warning MSB3270: There was a mismatch between the processor architecture of the project being built

However, the project is a Win32 (i.e. x86) project. So there is no mismatch.

There does not seem to be any easy way to make the compiler happy and get rid of the warning.
Details (expand)

Visual Studio/Team Foundation Server/.NET Framework Tooling version

Visual Studio 11 Beta

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a class project that produces a .NET assembly (C# or C++/CLR/Mixed).
1.1 If the project is a C# project, set it to x86, not Any CPU.
1.2 If the project is a C++ project, make sure it is win32
2. Create a C++/CLR/Mixed .EXE project and reference the project or assembly in step 1.
2.1 Make sure it is also Win32
3. Compile and and you will get the MSB3270 warning.

Addendum: Building the same solution in VS 2012 does not produce the warning.

I can reproduce this in VS2010. I also have VS 2012 RC installed.

Steps to reproduce in VS2010:

1. Create a new C++ CLR Class library.
2. Create a new C++ Test project.
3. Add a reference to the original project in the test project.
4. Build the solution.

...
5. ???
6. Profit!

Even though the C++ CLR project is compiling with /clr and producing a mixed assembly, the Targets are considering it a pure MSIL object.

Same problem after installing VS11 beta. Building with .net4 and mixed-mode c++ x64 project. And I checked the c++ project file it's reported a warning on and can't see anything wrong in that .vcxproj file. Both are using .net4.

Same issue... VS2010 Ultimate, C# .net 4 and mixed-mode C++ x86 projects. I am receiving these warnings (in VS2010, no changes in project files) since I have installed VS11 beta on the same machine.
