Save/Open Grid Data

[Avrum Tilman]

I am using the GridControl. Is there an easy way to save all the data in the grid to a file and then repopulate the grid with the data in the file later?

Thanks

You can use LoadBinary and SaveBinary which are members of the GridModel class. LoadBinary is static, so you use it through the class name. Here are some code snippets.

[cs]
private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	//save to file
	this.gridControl1.Model.SaveBinary(@"c:\mygrid.grd");
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	//load from file
	this.gridControl1.Model = GridModel.LoadBinary(@"c:\mygrid.grd");
}

[vb.net]
Private Sub button2_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
   ’save to file
   Me.gridControl1.Model.SaveBinary("C:\mygrid.grd")
End Sub ’button2_Click

Private Sub button1_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
   ’load from file
   Me.gridControl1.Model = GridModel.LoadBinary("C:\mygrid.grd")
End Sub ’button1_Click ’
