I am using Google's chart API to create some graphs. Things were working fine until my data set starting growing. I've narrowed the problem down to what seems to be a limit on the URI string length. Can someone confirm if this is the case. Also is there a good way to get around this limitation?

Edit with some more details: The length of the url is only about 1000 characters long when it starts causing my app to crash. I have taken the url that caused the crash and opened up the graph on a browser just fine. Is there a hard limit on what can be set for the Source property of an Image?

Examples:

Code that is working with this:

XAML -

<Image Source="{Binding HistoryGraphSource}" Width="330" Height="360" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>

C# Code - 

activeZone.HistoryGraphSource = ...

The DataContext of the page is set to activeZone. All I changed was adding a 0, to the last parameter; changed from 4 to 40.

**Also I know a lot of these values are redundant in my call for the graph. This is just an example.

  • The only limit to the length of a URL string as the src of an `` tag is the length-limit of a URL in general. Can you provide an example URL that works in a browser URL but not an `` tag? – asgallant Aug 07 '14 at 00:43
  • I will add the example in the main text of the question. I'm sorry in advance... they are large blocks of text. – friedliver Aug 07 '14 at 02:16
