This series of pages outlines the known, highest impact, issues when loading XAML into the Cider designer in the May CTP.

These are issues specific to loading XAML into Cider and are not issues at runtime. Our goal is to ensure that this list is empty by the time that Cider ships.

The biggest issues you'll run into are:

* No in-project references are supported, and only file referenced assemblies are supported. MayCTPProjectLimitations
* ""StaticResource"" references are not resolved in Application.Resources. MayCTPResourceLimitations
* External (i.e. separate XAML file) ""ResourceDictionaries"" and ""MergedDictionaries"" are not supported. MayCTPResourceLimitations

The limitations by category:

*VS Project Limitations
*Designable Types
*Type Limitations
*Markup Extension Limitations
*Resource Limitations
*Image Limitations
*Style and Template Limitations
*Data Limitations
