So I tried to make a folder within TFS called “R&D” and it let me. No surprises…yet. After moving a project into this folder, I ran the project to make sure all paths/references were still intact. The project ran fine so things seemed okay.
It wasn’t until I tried opening a form up in Designer view that I got a weird error:
How is it that the project can build and run fine, but I’m seeing this? XML? I don’t have anything related to XML in the form code, so what gives? After doing some searching on the internet, it seems that the “&” character anywhere in the path causes this issue. Since my project was in the “R&D” folder, I was having this issue. I renamed the folder and the problem went away…
