SYMPTOMS
When you create and use a virtual function that overrides a base virtual function in Microsoft Visual C++ 2005, you receive an error message that resembles the following:

test.obj : error LNK2022: metadata operation failed (80131187) : Inconsistent method declarations in duplicated types (types: TestSim_NS.CalcDialog; methods: update): (0x060001f6).

This problem occurs if one parameter of the virtual function involves a type that is defined in another assembly.



CAUSE
This error occurs because the type that is defined in another assembly is not recognized correctly.
