NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.LayoutControl

Declaration

public virtual void ReadFromXML(
    XmlReader xml
)

Public Overridable Sub ReadFromXML(
    xml As XmlReader
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
xml	XmlReader	A System.Xml.XmlReader object from which data is read.

Remarks

You can save the layout of child items via the LayoutControlBase.WriteToXML method. The 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.
