C#

using System.IO;

string fileName = "C:\\XtraVerticalGridLayout";
FileStream outFile = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create);
vGridControl1.SaveLayoutToStream(outFile);
outFile.Close();
vGridControl2.DataSource = vGridControl1.DataSource;
FileStream inFile = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open);
vGridControl2.RestoreLayoutFromStream(inFile);
inFile.Close();

VB.NET

Imports System.IO

Dim fileName As String = "C:\XtraVerticalGridLayout"
Dim outFile As New FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create)
VGridControl1.SaveLayoutToStream(outFile)
outFile.Close()
VGridControl2.DataSource = VGridControl1.DataSource
Dim inFile As New FileStream(fileName, System.IO.FileMode.Open)
VGridControl2.RestoreLayoutFromStream(inFile)
inFile.Close()
