WPN_E_DEV_ID_SIZE

WPN_E_DEV_ID_SIZE is an HRESULT used by the Windows notification platform. It means that the developer identifier supplied for a scheduled notification exceeds the platform limit.

What to check for WPN_E_DEV_ID_SIZE

  • Use a compact deterministic developer ID rather than verbose serialized application data.
  • Validate the final identifier length before scheduling the notification.
  • Keep a mapping in application storage when a shorter opaque identifier is required.

Evidence to capture

  • Capture any IErrorInfo text, activity identifier, event-log entry, and subsystem trace that mentions this result or the wpn / dev / id / size operation.
  • Reproduce this result with the smallest valid input and note whether the result changes with identity, architecture, service state, or target object.

Retry and recovery
