How save and load dock state functions in WinForms Docking?
Save and load dock state
In the WinForms DockingManager, you can perform serialization or de-serialization for a particular control by using its functions, SaveDockState and LoadDockState.
The following code example demonstrates the same.
C#
//Saves DockState for specific controls. this.dockingManager1.SaveDockState(serialize, this.gradientPanel2); serialize.PersistNow(); //Loads the DockState for specific controls. this.dockingManager1.LoadDockState(serialize, this.gradientPanel2);
VB
'Saves DockState for specific controls. Me.dockingManager1.SaveDockState(serialize, Me.gradientPanel2) serialize.PersistNow() 'Loads the DockState for specific controls. Me.dockingManager1.LoadDockState(serialize, Me.gradientPanel2)
