_ITERATOR_​DEBUG_LEVEL error converting VC++6.0 to VC++ 2010

A Brief background about me, I have been doing VB/VB.net, ASP.net, and C# development only but my experience with VC++ has been at the class room level.  I have been doing development for a little over 14 years.

With that said, I am currently working on migrating a VB6 project to C# using VS 2010 as well as upgrading VC++ 6.0 project to VS 2010.  My goal is to migrate VC++ 6.0 to VC++ 2010, then once I have that all compiling and working I will convert it over to C#.  However I am running into issue with this plan which is this:

error LNK2038: mismatch detected for '_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL': value '0' doesn't match value '2' in CompressionObj.obj with file libcpmt.lib(newaop.obj)

Since my knowledge of VC++ is limited can someone please tell me what I should be looking for and how to go about fixing this?  All I know about _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL is this

1. _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL = 0 // disabled (for release builds)
2. _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL = 1 // enabled (if _SECURE_SCL is defined)
3. _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL = 2 // enabled (for debug builds)

I've done a Entire Solution search for _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL and _SECURE_SCL but my search turned up nothing in my code.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.  NOTE:  Because of corporate security protocols I cannot provide sample code.

It looks like you're attempting to link object files built with different _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL (IDL) settings -- since the standard library / run-time libs versions linked with different IDL settings are not mutually compatible, this won't work. Try rebuilding the entire solution, making sure (in the configuration/properties) that the debug/release setting are consistent throughout all of its projects.

For more info on what _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL is and what it does, see:

@Matt_PD:

Thanks for the links.  I already saw the second one but the first one I did not.

Since I am not that familiar with VC++ what in particular should I be looking at under Project > Properties > Configuration Properties?

For all projects, I have 8, from what I can tell under Configuration Properties > General section these are the differences I see for the various Configurations:

• Debug =                               Use of ATL: Not Using ATL
• Release MinDependency =  Use of ATL: Static Link to ATL
• Release MinSize =               Use of ATL: Dynamic Link to ATL

I have one project showing Use of MFC: Use MFC in a Shared DLL for all Configurations.  All the other show Use Standard Windows Libraries.

@daEliteSniper: Right-click your Solution in the Solution Explorer, go to Configuration Properties, then Configuration, make sure that all of the projects have the same Configuration settings (i.e., no mixing of Debug / Release Configurations). Having make sure of that, try to Rebuild Solution (Ctrl+Alt+F7).

Before I saw your reply I deleted the project and reconverted it from VC++ 6.0 to VC++ 2010.  I have been able to build it with some success,  but not without issues still.  Below is a new thread that discusses what I mean.  

Error MSB3073 exited with code 3

However, I had already compared all those settings you suggested and they were all set correctly, and my newly converted project have the settings correct as well.  No mixing of Debug/Release that I can tell. 

However, I do believe but I'm not entirely sure since I reconverted my project that I had included "libcpmt.lib" listed in Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies.  According to another developer suggestion that may have been the issue, so it wasn't included this time around.
