TileControl.RestoreLayoutFromXml(String) Method

SECURITY NOTE

Deserializing layout settings from untrusted resources may create security issues. Review the following help topic for additional information: Safe Deserialization.

Loads the TileControl layout stored in the specific XML file.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

public virtual void RestoreLayoutFromXml(
    string xmlFile
)

Parameters

Name Type Description
xmlFile String

A String value specifying the path to the XML file which contains the layout to be loaded. If the specified file doesn’t exist, an exception is raised.

Remarks

The TileControl.SaveLayoutToXml method creates an .xml file to save the current custom TileControl layout at runtime. Later, this file can be loaded via the RestoreLayoutFromXml method to restore the layout. You can also save a custom user layout via the TileControl.SaveLayoutToRegistry and TileControl.SaveLayoutToStream methods - for each of them, the corresponding restore method exists.

Saved and restored layouts keep information only about group and item arrangements. Item content and appearance settings are not kept.
