I have a WinForms app that is using an ElementHost to host a WPF control.
When setting HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FIPSAlgorithmPolicy to
1 (a security requirement for our users), I get the following error at
compile time:

Unknown build error, 'This implementation is not part of the Windows
Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.'

The Line and Position numbers are the last character in my XAML file.
Everything works fine if I turn the FIPS algorithm policy off.

Does anybody know of a setting somewhere that will get WPF to work with
FIPS? I tried adding an App.config with enforceFIPSPolicy enabled="false"
but that didn't seem to work. Thanks for any info.
