Using C++ Connector8 with a Dynamic Link Library (MSVS19)

[digital minnow]

Hey, I am trying to create a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) File with MSVS19 in c++17 code. The API I am creating the dll for is written in stdc++17.

I did created a separate project that is a console project, setup connector++ like that: https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/azure/mysql/single-server/connect-cpp and even change the language standard to /stdc++17 and the connector works perfectly with no issues. I can create database tables, pull information, update information. When I try to add the same connector in the same way to my or to a new dynamic link library project, I get the following errors.

1>C:\plugins\mysql8.0.29-64\include\jdbc\cppconn\driver.h(74,21): error C2059: syntax error: 'function-style cast'

Any help would be appreciated.
