VS2008 WPF Xaml: Is there a path length limit when loading an assembly?

I don't know if there is something different for WPF, but the windows MAX_PATH value is set to 260 characters with some exceptions. But your path does not seem to exceed this limit. Remember though that the path to the assembly includes something like: bin\debug\assembly_name_here.

Dll additionly over your project location path Maximum Path Length Limitation In the Windows API (with some exceptions discussed in the following paragraphs), the maximum length for a path is MAX_PATH, which is defined as 260 characters. A local path is structured in the following order: drive letter, colon, backslash, name components separated by backslashes, and a terminating null character. For example, the maximum path on drive D is "D:\" where "" represents the invisible terminating null character for the current system codepage.(The characters are used here for visual clarity and cannot be part of a valid path string.).

The sample SouthRidge can be found at wpf.codeplex. Com/releases/view/14962 – Jean-Marie Oct 11 '10 at 10:48 I have forwarded the question to "Microsoft Developer Network > Forums Home > Visual Studio Forums > Visual Studio WPF Designer", I will keep you posted. – Jean-Marie Oct 11 '10 at 10:49 @Jean-Marie - I've downloaded and rebuilt Southridge on my PC and everything in the starter project seems to work, but I am running Visual Studio 2010 Premium Edition so my attempt to reproduce the problem isn't in the same environment as yourself.

It seems that there is a path lenght limit for VS2008 when loading XAML assemblies. Using the Microsoft sample Southridge, if the project is stored on "C:\Projects\C# samples\Southridge_Labs\1. Southridge_Fundamentals\Start" the designer does not load the assemblies.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
