Question

I have a really long string (reallyLongString below) and want to put its declaration/definition in a separate file from the main code.
How do I do that? Thanks.
Can I just surround it with "public partial class MainWindow: Window {" and "}" in another file?

namespace MyApp
{

    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        string reallyLongString = "...";
     ...
     }

...
}

Yes basically, although I think you can only specify the sub-type once. So in one file:

namespace MyApp
{   
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        // main code
    }    
    // etc...
}

And in the other:

namespace MyApp
{
    public partial class MainWindow
    {
        string reallyLongString = "...";
    }
}

You could also look at a resx or an embedded resource, rather than a literal.
