Compiling as AnyCPU produces assembly with 32BIT f

问题:

I've created a brand new .NET 4.5 WinForm project in Visual Studio 2013 on a 64-bit machine. After compiling, I run corflags in the .exe and the 32BIT flag is set.

Version   : v4.0.30319
CLR Header: 2.5
PE        : PE32
CorFlags  : 131075
ILONLY    : 1
32BIT     : 1
Signed    : 0

When I take a look at Task Manager, it's also marked as a 32 bit process.

I didn't add any references that would maybe force it to run in 32-bit mode. I took a look at the project file and didn't spot anything suspicious either.

I can run corflags /32BIT- on the assembly and it runs just fine as a 64-bit process.

What could be causing it to compile as a 32-bit executable?

回答1:

In the project Property Pages is a page called "Build" (A).

Under the "Platform Target" field (B), is the "Prefer 32bit" field (C).

You can toggle that to remove the 32bit flag from the corflags.
