Have you tried a rebuild instead of a normal build?

Have you seen this post:

Had the same problems a while ago.
The errors come from the fact that Core.dll was not built correctly.
in the Project Explorer selected the "Core" Project and right-click to get to the properties.
in the properties window in Build -> Compile there you see a switch "Unsafe code Blocks" or something like that. (i don't have an english VS, so i don't know the exact wording.)
Set that Flag to "True" and it'll compile ok.

Maybe the devs, could have a look into it, why there are Unsafe code blocks? Of course only, when they have time.
