Docking Manager Dockstate File v4.2.0.37

[Neil Blackburn]

Hi,

I've attached a sample to illustrate our problem. If you run it and try to view the docked Tools menu it won't open. The dockstate is loaded from a file in the NewDockStateEndLoad event and saved in the form Closed event.
This can happen quite often and our current workaround is to delete the dockstate file. Is there something we can check for on startup and reset a property?

Using Syncfusion v4.2.0.37 with Visual Studio 2003 .NET v1.1.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response and code change. It does fix the problem when we use v4.2.0.37.

However the previous version of our product uses v3.3 and I can still reproduce the problem. Is v3.3 still supported?

Hi,

I've managed to create a sample which replicates the problem in v3.3. I hope you can provide me with a workaround in this version also.

Thanks,

Hi Neil,

Please delete the files from
1.C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Local Settings\Application Data\IsolatedStorage
2.FrontOffice\FrontOffice\bin folder
and let me know if the issue is resolved.

Thanks,

Hi,

Yes it resolves the problem, we already tell our clients to delete the xml file as a workaround.

As the problem occurs regularly is there anything I can put in the code to trap for this and reset something?

Thanks,

Hi Neil,

Please use the code below and let me know if the issue is resolved.

private void Form1_Closed(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo( Application.StartupPath + @"\test~dockstate" );
if ( fi.Exists )
{
fi.Delete();
}
AppStateSerializer serialiser;
serialiser = new AppStateSerializer(SerializeMode.XMLFile, Application.StartupPath + @"\test~dockstate" );
dockingManager1.SaveDockState( serialiser );
serialiser.PersistNow();
}

Thanks,
