    x:Name="mainWindow">
    <Grid>
        <dxg:GridControl dx:DXSerializer.SerializationID="gridControl1">
            <!--...-->
        </dxg:GridControl>
        <dxg:GridControl dx:DXSerializer.SerializationID="gridControl2">
            <!--...-->
        </dxg:GridControl>
    </Grid>
</Window>
using DevExpress.Xpf.Core.Serialization;

private void Window_Closing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e) {
    DXSerializer.SerializeSingleObject(mainWindow, "Layout.xml");
}
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e) {
