LoadBinary or LoadSoap

[Raphael Eschmann]

I successfully save my grid in a Binary file and a XML file. That's work fine.

1) Which is the fastest method to save/load ? Binary?

2) My problem is I couldn't load the binary or XML file in my grid. (the files below exists)
> grdReport.BeginUpdate()
> grdReport.LoadSoap("c:\testXML.txt")
> 'grdReport.LoadBinary("c:\test.txt")
> grdReport.EndUpdate()

But nothing happens! What's wrong?

PS.I'm still using an evaluation Grid.

Thanks for your help.

Binary saves results in smaller files, and probably is quicker, but you may not notice it depending upon the grids involved.

In version 1.0.2.4 which I suspect is whatyou have, GridControl.LoadSoap is broken. But shared (static) GridModel.LoadSoap does work in that release. So, you can use code like:

'save it
grdReport.Model.SaveSoap("c:\testXML.txt")

'load it
grdReport.Model = GridModel.LoadSoap("c:\testXML.txt")
