Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Open Microsoft Visual Studio .NET or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
2. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project. Click Visual Basic Projects under Project Types, and then click Console Application under Templates. Type test in the Name text box.
   
   Note In Visual Studio 2005, click Visual Basic under Project Types.
3. Open Module1.vb. Replace the code that initially appears with the following code:

   Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
   
   Module Module1
   
       <ComImport(), Guid("E436EBB3-524F-11CE-9F53-0020AF0BA770")> _
       Public Class FileGraphManager
   
       End Class
   
       Sub Main()
           Dim fgm As New FileGraphManager()
       End Sub
   
   End Module
   					

4. On the Build menu, click Build Solution.
5. On the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, point to Visual Studio .NET Tools, and then click Visual Studio .NET Command Prompt. Type the following command:

   cd my documents\visual studio projects\test\bin

   This command changes the directory to the Bin folder of the test project that you created in the first step of this section.
   
   Note In Visual Studio 2005, click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, and then click Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt.
6. Type the following command:

   peverify test.exe

   This command displays the error described in the "Symptoms" section.
   
   NOTE: The Peverify tool does not generate an error if you use the code that follows in a Visual C# .NET project:

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace test1
{
	[ComImport, Guid("E436EBB3-524F-11CE-9F53-0020AF0BA770")] 
	class FilgraphManager
	{ 
	}

	class Class1
	{
		[STAThread]
		static void Main(string[] args)
		{
		}
	}
}
