error on new WPF project

When I make a new WPF app project, I immediately get an error. I have made other WPF apps today which didnt give me that error. I don't know what is wrong.

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\Gebruiker\Documents.Howest graduaat programmeren.Programming .Basics\PRB-02-Variabelen\Prb.Variables.Operators\Prb.Variables.Operators.Wpf\obj\Debug\net9.0-windows\Prb.Variables.Operators.Wpf_pw112xig_wpftmp.GeneratedMSBuildEditorConfig.editorconfig'.

I just deleted the solution and created it again and debugged and it just gives me the same error. I didn't even do anything yet except debugging

whats this

Vivi(an) (bnuuy)•2/21/25, 9:40 AM

Your file path is too long

QualyOP•2/21/25, 9:40 AM

bruh

Vivi(an) (bnuuy)•2/21/25, 9:40 AM

How do you even manage that

QualyOP•2/21/25, 9:40 AM

how can it even be too long

QualyOP•2/21/25, 9:41 AM

lemme try smth

QualyOP•2/21/25, 9:42 AM

whats the limit

Angius•2/21/25, 9:42 AM

Just gotta disable path length limit

Angius•2/21/25, 9:42 AM

256

Vivi(an) (bnuuy)•2/21/25, 9:42 AM

You could just rename your insanely long documents folder

QQualy how can it even be too long

jcotton42•2/21/25, 9:42 AM

By default, paths on Windows are limited to 260 characters for historical reasons.

QualyOP•2/21/25, 9:43 AM

yeah I changed the project and solution name and it works now

QualyOP•2/21/25, 9:44 AM

Imma increase the limit

AAngius 256

ero•2/21/25, 9:45 AM

256 is the file name, 260 for the full path

ero•2/21/25, 9:45 AM

drive letter, , , null terminator

Angius•2/21/25, 9:46 AM

Ah, gotcha

Angius•2/21/25, 9:46 AM

should do the trick to enable long paths

jcotton42•2/21/25, 9:47 AM

Needs a reboot too, iirc

QualyOP•2/21/25, 9:49 AM

why is that even a thing

QQualy why is that even a thing

jcotton42•2/21/25, 9:49 AM

Historical reasons.

jcotton42•2/21/25, 9:50 AM

Basically there’s a constant, MAX_PATH in the Windows headers used to build C and C++ apps.

jcotton42•2/21/25, 9:50 AM

Apps would make path buffers of that size for use with OS calls involving paths.

jcotton42•2/21/25, 9:51 AM

That’s 260.
And for those apps, you can’t put a larger path in those buffers, otherwise they’ll blow up.

jcotton42•2/21/25, 9:52 AM

So, to protect existing apps, Windows doesn’t do >260 character paths unless you

Enable that registry setting, and
(iirc) Your application’s manifest indicates it has long path support

QualyOP•2/21/25, 9:55 AM

well I put everything in my OneDrive folder and now its fine

QQualy well I put everything in my OneDrive folder and now its fine

jcotton42•2/21/25, 9:56 AM

just fyi, you should learn and use a version control system like git for code

QualyOP•2/21/25, 9:56 AM

yeah I will learn that throughout this semester

QualyOP•2/21/25, 9:57 AM

thing is

QualyOP•2/21/25, 9:57 AM

I did engineering this first semester but I didnt rly like it

QualyOP•2/21/25, 9:57 AM

I was first planning on just continuing it but realized I didnt have much classes that interest me

QualyOP•2/21/25, 9:58 AM

I did some research to find another course or whatever its called and put my mind on a bachelor in software engineering. However I cant start that in february but can only start in september

QualyOP•2/21/25, 9:59 AM

So then I went to a study coach and asked for help and she told me I could do a graduate in programming for the rest of this year for some exemptions when I go study software engineering next year

QualyOP•2/21/25, 10:00 AM

Problem is they already started 2 weeks ago so now Im learning what they learnt in those weeks

QualyOP•2/21/25, 10:01 AM

I will learn how to use git and github but I gotta wait making an account till I get my school email

Angius•2/21/25, 10:03 AM

Can't you just use your own email?

QualyOP•2/21/25, 10:03 AM

This is what he told me:
Git install - please wait with your account until you have received a howest email address

ero•2/21/25, 10:04 AM

that seems like a bad idea. you'll likely want to use the account for things that aren't school related. and you'll probably lose access to the email address once you leave the school

QualyOP•2/21/25, 10:05 AM

I'll probably make another account for myself too yeah

QualyOP•2/21/25, 10:05 AM

Im reading through the first 2 chapters of "continuous integration basics" right now so I'll probably see what to do

Eero that seems like a bad idea. you'll likely want to use the account for things tha...

QualyOP•2/21/25, 10:14 AM

apparently u can add multiple email adresses? Or so it says in this presentation.
Out school email has to be our primary but I think we can add our personal as secondary or smth

Angius•2/21/25, 10:17 AM

When it comes to Git, you can even set different emails per repo if you want, and you can always change it

Angius•2/21/25, 10:17 AM

Just

Angius•2/21/25, 10:17 AM

When it comes to Github, the account you make requires an email, yes

Angius•2/21/25, 10:18 AM

Like any other online service

ero•2/21/25, 10:18 AM

i think this is what the instructions mean anyway

Angius•2/21/25, 10:18 AM

It, too, can be changed
