I can't get TempHire WPF to run when moving the assemblies into a bin folder.

I've added the following to the config file :

  <runtime>
      <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
         <probing privatePath="bin"/>
      </assemblyBinding>
   </runtime>

I've re-compiled the project and checked that all the necessary dlls are present in the bin folder.

The application never starts, and the Windows Event Log contains the typical "System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException" that indicates a missing assembly.

Regards, Paul

If you move the assemblies into a bin folder, you must tell DevForce and Cocktail to look there for the domain models and MEF parts.

        static AppBootstrapper()
        {
            CompositionHost.SearchFolders.Add("bin");
        }
