Compile time error when using Aspose Words in C++/CLI project

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,

We have just tried to upgrade to Aspose.Words V21.7 but we are having a compile issue when using the dll in a C++CLI application. I have been able to reproduce this in a new C++/CLI project that can be found here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ao-n6dBju-a32iU8GbrVVOaF8tOY?e=aHgQf7

Error:C2365 
'Aspose::Words::CompositeNode::': redefinition; previous definition was 'property'

It looks like this might be a obfuscation issue, as below:

Thanks, Zoe

Hi.

Apologies for contacting you again but this is an urgent issue for us - we cannot use the product until this issue is resolved.

I have tried the most recent release today and this is still present. Is there any update or estimate of when this might be looked at?

Thanks, Zoe

@tahir.manzoor - any update on this? We can keep using the old version of the DLL which worked fine for a while, but it’s not great for our security policy to use out of date components.

Can your obfuscator use some kind of attribute or xml configuration to assign a fixed name to the property vs type to distinguish them?

@GMiddleton The issue is still unresolved. We will experiment with obfuscator options and let you know when the issue is resolved.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-22660) have been fixed in this Aspose.Words for .NET 22.1 update also available on NuGet.

Thank-you for getting this fix out. I have tried it and it all looks fine.
