Hi Ramachandran,

Thanks for using Syncfusion Products.

If your intention is to save and load template through programmatically means, please use the following code snippet in your application.

ChartTemplate temp = new ChartTemplate(typeof(ChartControl));

//Save Template:
private void Save_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.chartControl1.ShowContextMenu = true;
temp.Scan(chartControl1);
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
temp.Save("chart.xml");
MessageBox.Show("Saved properly");
}

//Load Template
private void Load_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
temp.Apply(chartControl2);
temp.Load("chart.xml");
MessageBox.Show("Loaded properly");
}

Please refer the following sample.
