Loading toolbar states, taking long time

[Administrator]

Hi,

Previously with syncfusion version 5.1.1.47, I used SaveBarState() and LoadBarState() methods to save into database and load from the database the toolbar states.
Here is the code snippet I have used:

private void SaveToolbarState()
{
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();

// save the customized data into the stream
AppStateSerializer serializer = new AppStateSerializer(SerializeMode.BinaryFmtStream, memoryStream);
mainFrameBarManager.SaveBarCustomization(serializer);
mainFrameBarManager.SaveBarState(serializer); // here I am getting Object refference not set to an instance exception.
serializer.PersistNow();
}

private void LoadToolbarState()
{

// get the byte array from backend

MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(buff, 0, buff.Length);
memoryStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

AppStateSerializer serializer = new AppStateSerializer(SerializeMode.BinaryFmtStream, memoryStream);
mainFrameBarManager.LoadBarCustomization(serializer);
mainFrameBarManager.LoadBarState(serializer);
}


Now I upgraded into syncfusion version 6.4.0.15. After upgrading, the following problems has raised.

1) In SaveToolbarState() method, at this line mainFrameBarManager.SaveBarState(serializer) I am getting "Object refference not set to an instance" exception.

Why this exception has raised?

2) If I use another approach to save toolbar states into XML file and load from XML file, as attached file
(or)
to save toolbar states into windows regestry load from windows registry, as attached file.
If I run my application more than 6 or more times it is taking long time to load toolbar states.

Why it is taking long time to load toolbar states?
How can I reduce the time to load toolbar states?

Please run attached samples, you will understood clearly.

Repeat it more than 10 times, each time your will find it will increate the time to load toolbar states.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Kishan,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

1. "Object reference not set to an instance" exception throws in SaveToolBarState() method.

I am afraid that I was not able to reproduce the reported issue, please refer to the below sample which I have tested the issue.

We suspect this issue to be a defect and we have forwarded this to our development team for more analysis. We will get back to you on 15th December, 2008 with more details.
