After updating from version 111.2 to 111.3, a C++/CLI project that uses libraries that use Restsharp reports a C2870

[xenexelen]

We use a C++/CLI project as a bridge between a native C++ application (Embacadero C++ Builder) and a .Net 8 project (the C++/CLI library provides a C interface for the C++ application, which in turn is used to call partial functionality of project parts that have already been migrated to .Net).

This worked as long as our .Net libraries used at most version 111.2.0 of Restsharp. With the update to 111.3.0, the C++/CLI project throws several C2870 errors:

"C2870 'RestSharp': a namespace definition must appear either at file scope or immediately within another namespace definition <...>.nuget\packages\restsharp\111.3.0\lib\net8.0\RestSharp.dll"

Current workaround: RestSharp downgrade to 111.2

To Reproduce

1. Create a new solution with a "C# Class Library" (I use .net 8), add Restsharp 111.3.0 per nuget as Dependency
2. Add a new "CLR Class Library (.NET)"-Project, add the C#-Assembly as Dependency
3. Build => C2870
4. Downgrade the Restsharper-nuget to 111.2.0
5. Build => Success

Expected behavior
The upgrade from 111.2.0 to 111.3.0 should not cause an error

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (Build 10.0.22631)
• .NET 8
• RestSharp Version 111.2.0 and 111.3.0

Error also in 111.4.0

Seeing this as well. Same setup: .NET 8, C++/CLI application.

Is this related to: #2223

This is a significant problem for us, we are having to downgrade the version of RestSharp because of it.

I getting this with RestSharp 112 and its becoming a blocker.

At our company, we have therefore been forced to remove RestSharp from our project. Unfortunately, it cannot be used in combination with C++CLI.

At our company, we have therefore been forced to remove RestSharp from our project.
We are also planning to do the same, especially given the security vulnerabilities in the older versions.
