    Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v25.1.UI.dll

    NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Charts

    Declaration

    public void LoadFromFile(
        string path
    )

    Parameters

    Name Type Description
    path String

    Specifies the path to the file that contains the layout.

    Remarks

    Use the LoadFromFile method to load a diagram’s layout from an XML file. If this file does not exist, a System.IO.FileNotFoundException exception is raised. The resulting file does not contain information about a diagram source’s data - you should to specify the control’s DataSource property after the LoadFromFile method is called.

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        sankeyDiagramControl1.LoadFromFile("D:\\diagram1.xml");
        sankeyDiagramControl1.DataSource = GetSankeyItems();
    }
    

    To save a layout a file, call the ChartControl.SaveToFile method.
