Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp.Templates
Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.v23.2.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.ExpressApp
Declaration
Remarks
Template customizations that have been made by an end-user must be saved to the Application Model’s Template node. For this purpose, the SaveSettings method is called when a Template is disposed of. The nested structure of this node must be specified by the ISupportStoreSettings.SetSettings method, which is invoked earlier - when creating a Template. The saved customizations are then applied to the Template by calling the ISupportStoreSettings.SetSettings method again.
Physically, the customizations are stored in the Model.User.xafml file. When a Template is created, the Template node customizations from this file are passed to the ISupportStoreSettings.SetSettings method, to be applied to the Template. So, if you remove this file, the Template node structure must be recreated by the ISupportStoreSettings.SetSettings method.
Note
UI customizations can only be saved in Windows Forms applications.
