LayoutControlBase.WriteToXML(XmlWriter) Method

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.LayoutControl

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.LayoutControl.v14.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public virtual void WriteToXML(
    XmlWriter xml
)

VB.NET

Public Overridable Sub WriteToXML(
    xml As XmlWriter
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
xml	XmlWriter	A System.Xml.XmlWriter object to which data will be written.

Remarks

You can save the layout of child items via the WriteToXML method. The LayoutControlBase.ReadFromXML method allows you to load the previously saved layout.

NOTE

To correctly save and then restore the layout of items, you need to assign names to the items. If names are not specified, the layout will be correctly restored, provided that the LayoutControl's/LayoutGroup's item collection (the order and number of items) wasn't modified after the layout was saved.

To load a layout, we recommend using the Loaded event of a UserControl or a window.
