Solution 1

I can't guarantee this as I haven't tried, so I would recommend you backup your entire solution first.
In VS, open your solution. On the Menu, select "Build...Configuration manager"
On the dialog the appears, against you class library name, in the "Platform" column, open the drop down next to "Any CPU", and select "<New...>"
In the new dialog, select "x64" and "Copy Settings from" to "Any CPU".
"OK", and "Close"
You should now build for x64, with a bit of luck...

"Dear Sir, There is 2 option X64 And X84. What is diffrence in X64 And X84"
If you mean "x64" and "x86", then "x64" are the 64 bit processors, "x86" are the 32 bit - the name "x86" comes from the original processor family names "80186", "80286", "80386", "80486" before Intel moved to "Pentium" to make it easier to trademark.

Using reflector application you can convert it.
