AppStateSerializer

[Narendra Maharaj]

I have an MDI app with two DockingManagers. How can I persist both DockingManagers states then retrieve them? I''d like to use an AppStateSerializer. I''m using VS 2005, Syncfusion 4.1beta with the 2.0 dll''s and C#.

Hi Narendra, You could save/load the dock state using the AppStateSerializer as in the following code snippet: //Serializing AppStateSerializer aser = new AppStateSerializer(SerializeMode.XMLFile, Application.StartupPath + System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + fileName); this.dockingManager1.SaveDockState(aser); aser.PersistNow(); //De-Serializing. Make sure it doesnt go into an infinite loop when used in NewDockStateEndLoad event handler. AppStateSerializer aser = new AppStateSerializer(SerializeMode.XMLFile, Application.StartupPath + System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + fileName); this.dockingManager1.LoadDockState(aser); You could refer to our Docking Package samples: UserControlContainer or MDIContainerControl Demo at the following location "[InstalledDerive]:\Program Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\4.1.0.10\windows\Tools.Windows\Samples\Docking Package\ContainerControlSupportDemo\" to save or restore the multiple docking managers state information. However I have created a test sample to show the procedure to save or load the information about the docking state.Please take a look at the attached sample and let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products. Regards, Vijay Test Sample

Thanks Vijay
I was doing a appStateSerializer.PersistNow() twice. It works now.
