Solution

I can see in your project's settings that you are using CLR (i.e. Common Language Runtime Support (/clr)).

This makes your project managed, which means that its extension should be *.dll and it should be loaded using NETLOAD, not APPLOAD.

Note that managed AddIns cannot be unloaded/reloaded in the same AutoCAD session.
