## WorkflowDesigner.Load doesn't remove symbol property ### Scope Major ### Version Introduced 4.5 ### Version Reverted 4.5.2 ### Source Analyzer Status Planned ### Change Description When targeting the .NET Framework 4.5 in the workflow designer, and loading a re-hosted 3.5 workflow with the WorkflowDesigner.Load() method, a XamlDuplicateMemberException is thrown while saving the workflow. - [x] Quirked - [ ] Build-time break ### Recommended Action This bug only manifests when targeting .NET Framework 4.5 in the workflow designer, so it can be worked around by setting the `WorkflowDesigner.Context.Services.GetService().TargetFrameworkName` to the 4.0 .NET Framework. Alternatively, the issue may be avoided by using the [WorkflowContext.Load(string)](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee425926(v=vs.110).aspx) method to load the workflow, instead of [WorkflowDesigner.Load()](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee403482(v=vs.110).aspx). ### Affected APIs * `M:System.Activities.Presentation.WorkflowDesigner.Load` ### Category Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) [More information](https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/786503/)
