C# WPF - Build issues between Windows 7 & 8

Question

Has anyone else found issues when building a .net4 C# WPF application in Windows 7 and then Windows 8 using VS2010?

For example, I have XAML TextBlocks bound to a DataContext, and when building the app in Windows 8 my UI bindings update as they should when the PorpertyChanged event is fired, but not on the Windows 7 PC. However, when the same application is rebuilt on the Windows 7 PC in VS2010 the UI bindings update on PropertyChanged event. I must point out that the data properties are updating behind the scenes, it's appears to be a UI issue.

I assume there must be differences in the .Net4 libraries between windows 8 and 7??? You'll have to forgive me, I'm fairly new ish to programming.

Many thanks,

Rob

Without seeing your XAML or code showing the properties, it's difficult to help you exactly. — Reed Copsey, Commented Jun 18, 2013 at 16:09

Windows 8 comes with .NET 4.5, which is an in-place upgrade to .NET 4. If you install .NET 4.5 on Windows 7, you'll likely get the same behavior.

It's possible you've hit one of the .NET 4.5 compatibility issues, so you're seeing different behavior on systems with 4.5 installed.
