XAML

<dx:ThemedWindow ...
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:dx="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/core"
    x:Name="mainwindow"
    dx:DXSerializer.Enabled="True">
    <Grid>
        <Button Content="Save Layout" Click="Button_Click"/>
        <!-- ... -->
    </Grid>
    ...
</dx:ThemedWindow>

C#

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
    DXSerializer.Serialize(mainwindow, "windowlayout.xml");
}

VB.NET

Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
    DXSerializer.Serialize(mainwindow, "windowlayout.xml")
End Sub
