DockingManager.SaveDockState doesn''t work with MemoryStream

Hi, I''m experiencing a problem with the saving of a dock state. It looks like nothing is being written to the MemoryStream in the snippet below: MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(); dockingManager.SaveDockState(new AppStateSerializer(SerializeMode.XMLFmtStream, stream));

Hmmm... I just found out that it doesn''t work at all (neither with the SerializeMode.XMLFile nor the SaveDockState() method). I have an MDI application with the docking manager and a set of child form, each of them having its own docking manager. The problem appears when I try to save child form''s dock state.

Hi Andrew, Please refer to the KB article listed below for information on this issue : How do I save/load docking state information of an application that has a MDI parent form containing multiple child forms where each child form has its own docking layout? The sample application link seems to be broken, and hence I have reattached the sample here : MDIForms_Docking_Sample. Please refer to this and let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks for choosing Syncfusion products. Regards, Guru Patwal Syncfusion, Inc.

Hi Guru, >Please refer to the KB article listed below for information on this issue : >How do I save/load docking state information of an application that has a MDI parent form containing multiple child forms where each child form has its own docking layout? Thanks for the quick response! In my case, the Singleton approach woudn''t really help because each view''s layout is supposed to be saved in its own file. Also, we want to do additional additional custom serialization (mostly serialized controls) along with the layout, that''s why I am interested in writing the child form''s layout directly to "my" stream. I''m not sure if I can incorporate the whole logic into the DockingManager serialization... maybe I''ll take a closer look at your source code. >The sample application link seems to be broken, and hence I have reattached the sample here : MDIForms_Docking_Sample.

I have the same problem but I cannot access the following article, as it pops up a login dialog. "How do I save/load docking state information of an application that has a MDI parent form containing multiple child forms where each child form has its own docking layout?"

Try this address for the article: http://64.78.18.34/support/article.aspx?id=10392 Syncfusion is having some problems with their web host.
