Many thanks for taking time to clarify the issue.
Defining BOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL in the mini demo project helps.
(Only ilmerge fails to merge the C++/CLI DLL with the C# executable ...)

Alas, for the RealWorld example containing some more spirit parser 
code this does not help either. The linker now correctly chooses
the DLL:

but the executable shows the System.BadImageFormatException again.

Any further idea?
Am I not allowed to mix the static inclusion of date_time with the dynamic 
version of threads?
I also tried BOOST_DYN_LINK, but even then libboost_date_time-vc90-mt-1_37.lib
ist used by the linker. Then used BOOST_DATE_TIME_DYN_LINK
which should have the same effect, but then linking chooses the correct libs:

This looks odd to me. Ain't this a bug for DATE_TIME?

Anyway, even then System.BadImageFormatException is thrown.
I am lost again.
