GradientPanel BackgroundColor

[Lori S. Pearsall]

I''m attempting to use the BackgroundColor.WriteXML to write out the current setting of a panel but I''m getting nothing - stream length of zero. Here''s a code sample :

MemoryStream strOutput = new MemoryStream();
System.Xml.XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(strOutput, null);
this.BackgroundColor = new BrushInfo(Color.Purple);
this.brush.WriteXml(writer);

What am I missing??

Let''s try this again - code sample :

MemoryStream strOutput = new MemoryStream();
System.Xml.XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(strOutput, null);
this.BackgroundColor = new BrushInfo(Color.Purple);
this.BackgroundColor.WriteXml(writer);

What am I missing??

Hi Lori

You could use the XmlSerializer Class to do what you are seeking. Here is a code snippet which saves the information in a file called bginfo.xml:

string xmlFilename = "bginfo.xml";
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Syncfusion.Drawing.BrushInfo));
Stream fs = new FileStream(xmlFilename, FileMode.Create);
System.Xml.XmlTextWriter writer = new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(fs, System.Text.Encoding.Default);
serializer.Serialize(fs,this.gradientPanel1.BackgroundColor);
writer.Close();
