SaveLayout generates extra XML

[Ryan]

Hello,

I'm working with the Docking framework, and saving/loading the layout. I've noticed that the XML generated by the SaveLayout seems to generate a lot of extra XML after the actual template. It looks like it's exporting snippets of the rest of the layout. Here's an example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RadDocking>
<DocumentHost>
<RadSplitContainer Orientation="Horizontal">
<Items>
<RadPaneGroup SerializationTag="SearchResultsPaneGroup" SelectedIndex="0">
<Items>
<RadPane SerializationTag="SearchResults" IsDockable="True" Title="Search Results" Header="Search Results" CanUserClose="False" />
</Items>
</RadPaneGroup>
</Items>
</RadSplitContainer>
</DocumentHost>
<SplitContainers>
<RadSplitContainer Dock="DockedLeft" Width="240" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Items>
<RadPaneGroup RelativeWidth="300" RelativeHeight="200" SelectedIndex="-1">
<Items>
<RadPane SerializationTag="SearchWindow" IsPinned="False" IsDockable="False" Title="Search" Header="Search" CanUserClose="False" AutoHideWidth="236" AutoHideHeight="602" />
</Items>
</RadPaneGroup>
</Items>
</RadSplitContainer>
<RadSplitContainer Dock="DockedRight" Width="240" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Items>
<RadPaneGroup RelativeWidth="500" RelativeHeight="200" SelectedIndex="0">
<Items>
<RadPane SerializationTag="Messages" IsDockable="True" Title="Messages" Header="Messages" CanUserClose="False" />
</Items>
</RadPaneGroup>
</Items>
</RadSplitContainer>
</SplitContainers>
</RadDocking>


litContainers>
</RadDocking>
orizontal">
<Items>
<RadPaneGroup RelativeWidth="500" RelativeHeight="200" SelectedIndex="0">
<Items>
<RadPane SerializationTag="Messages" IsDockable="True" Title="Messages" Header="Messages" CanUserClose="False" />
</Items>
</RadPaneGroup>
</Items>
</RadSplitContainer>
</SplitContainers>
</RadDocking>
AutoGenerated="True" SelectedIndex="0">
<Items>
<RadPane SerializationTag="SearchWindow" IsDockable="True" Title="Search" Header="Search" CanUserClose="False" />
</Items>
</RadPaneGroup>
</Items>
</RadSplitContainer>
<RadSplitContainer Dock="DockedLeft" Width="240" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Items>
<RadPaneGroup RelativeWidth="300" RelativeHeight="200" SelectedIndex="-1">
<Items />
</RadPaneGroup>
</Items>
</RadSplitContainer>
<RadSplitContainer Dock="DockedRight" Width="240" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Items>
<RadPaneGroup RelativeWidth="500" RelativeHeight="200" SelectedIndex="0">
<Items>
<RadPane SerializationTag="Messages" IsDockable="True" Title="Messages" Header="Messages" CanUserClose="False" />
</Items>
</RadPaneGroup>
</Items>
</RadSplitContainer>
</SplitContainers>
</RadDocking>

The second half of that (after "litContainers>) is not proper XML, and seems to be a few random portions of the first half. Is this intentional?

I do note that this XML is loaded correctly by the LoadLayout Method, but it keeps the output from being read by any XML parser.

Thanks,

Ryan Brown

Hi Ryan,

I would suggest you use FileMode.Create instead of FileMode.OpenOrCreate into the SaveLayout() method.
