I must be missing something obvious... I just installed VS 2008 on a new
laptop (running XP SP3) and am trying the most simple WPF application
(dropping a button onto the default grid. When I try to run I get an
XamlParseException error (Line 1, position 9) but the inner, inner exception
is a security exception:

{"Request for the permission of type
'System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed."}

The stack trace is coming up through
System.Windows.Markup.BamlRecordReader.CreateInstanceFromType

Is there some .NET Security configuration I've missed? The weird thing is
that on another machine I have no such problems and the .NET security
configuration on both appears to be the same.

TIA

Could you try to upgrade to .NET 3.5
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en)
and try again?

Ususally, you don't have to configure security parameters. But note that,
when you do some local system action (e.g. deleting a file) in browser
applications, you will get a security error.

You can also get extended information about XAML parsing errory by executing
the project via "F11" key (debug per line) and press F11 until the exception
arrives. The highlighted line causes the error.

If nothing helps, you could send me the sample code (e-mail in header) and I
will check that in a new XPSP3 virtual machine.

Already using .NET 3.5 -- I've installed VS2008. I checked anyway, and the
installer confirmed that I already have it.

The code is so simple it's not worth sending. Create a new WPF application
in VS 2008, drag a button onto the grid, press F5 to run.

On one machine, that I've had for awhile, and it has had VS 2003, VS 2005,
and now VS 2008, this works just fine. On my new laptop, with only VS 2008,
I get the error below. Both machines are running XP SP3.

One slight clarification... There is actually another InnerException
available, with a slightly different stack trace:

at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(Object demand,
StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean isPermSet)
at System.Security.CodeAccessPermission.Demand()
at MS.Internal.PresentationFramework.SecurityHelper.DemandUnmanagedCode()
at System.Windows.Window..ctor()
at Test.Window1..ctor()

Perhaps this helps shed some light on this issue??

Here's the XAML, the code-behind is all default generated by VS2008; I
haven't modified a thing:

<Window x:Class="Test.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<Grid>
<Button Margin="98,115,105,125" Name="button1">Hello, World!</Button>
</Grid>
</Window>

Ok, enough detective work turned up the need, on this installation at least,
to explicitly set the Security settings for this project to "Enable ClickOnce
Security Settings" where the option for full trust application was already
selected. Once I did this, I can run even the vanilla app created for a
blank WPF Application in VS2008 without encountering the error.

Still a mystery, though, is why, on my other machine, do I not need to do
this? Why is the "WPF Application" wizard code, on my new laptop
installation, trying to run in the sandbox? The project is set to build a
Windows Application.

O...M...G...,

Ok, I finally realized that this laptop was setup to redirect "My Documents"
to a mapped network drive. So, the default location for new projects was on
a network share instead of the local hard drive. I was essentially getting
the same error one gets when trying to run a .NET Forms application from a
network share, just very much disguised!!!

It will be nice to see the next round of improvements in the IDE for working
with XAML and WPF projects!!!!!!!

I had similar problem. Installed VS2008 and made a little test app with few
buttons. I had same exception - line 1 character 9 thingy.

I started to comment out C# code line by line and then found that some very
simple code in Windows1 constructor was the cause of the exception in
run-time.

I had to move it into OnIntitalize and it works since that. I still dont
know why it was heppening though as the code did compile fine and looked
pretty legitimate.

I just wonder - how much real PITA this 'nice' separation (XAML from
code-behind) is going to bring into development processes in big projects
within big teams. Especially if 'designers' will be in charge of XAML and
'developers' - of C# code-behind.

I hear ya! I think we'll see the same trend as all other "ground-breaking"
development paradigms coming out of Redmond... To my mind, MFC wasn't usable
until v2.0, .NET was only barely usable at 1.1 and didn't become first class
until 2.0, Windows itself didn't shine until Win98 (trust me on this, I was
developing apps for Windows 1.04!!)...

So, I'm not expecting any of the new stuff (LINQ, WCF and WPF) to really hit
their stride until we get at least one major version underneath our belts.
Even then, we'll have to see...

I started from punching cards for ibm 360 :-P

perhaps we are too old to appreciate the 'real' beauty of wpf
