SankeyDiagramControl.LoadFromFile(String) Method

Restores the diagram’s layout from an XML file.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.Sankey

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

#Declaration

public void LoadFromFile(
    string fileName
)

#Parameters

Name Type Description
fileName String

The path to the file that contains the layout.

#Remarks

Use the LoadFromFile method to load the diagram layout from an XML file. If this file does not exist, the System.IO.FileNotFoundException is raised. Note that the layout file does not contain data items. Specify the diagram’s DataSource property to load data to the Sankey Diagram Control after the LoadFromFile method is called.

sankeyDiagramControl1.LoadFromFile("D:/temp/SankeyLayout.xml");
sankeyDiagramControl1.DataSource = model.GetData();

To save the layout to a file, call the SankeyDiagramControl.SaveToFile method.
