XML Export & Import
RadOrgChart supports Export and Import to XML data.
XML Export
Here is sample OrgChart declaration:
<telerik:RadOrgChart RenderMode="Lightweight" runat="server" ID="RadOrgChart1" GroupColumnCount="2">
<Nodes>
<telerik:OrgChartNode>
<RenderedFields>
<telerik:OrgChartRenderedField Text="Bosses" />
</RenderedFields>
<GroupItems>
<telerik:OrgChartGroupItem Text="GroupItem1" />
<telerik:OrgChartGroupItem Text="GroupItem2" />
<telerik:OrgChartGroupItem Text="GroupItem3" />
<telerik:OrgChartGroupItem Text="GroupItem4" />
</GroupItems>
<Nodes>
<telerik:OrgChartNode ColumnCount="1">
<RenderedFields>
<telerik:OrgChartRenderedField Text="Workers" />
</RenderedFields>
<GroupItems>
<telerik:OrgChartGroupItem Text="GroupItem1">
<RenderedFields>
<telerik:OrgChartRenderedField Text="Email: item1@foo.bar" />
</RenderedFields>
</telerik:OrgChartGroupItem>
<telerik:OrgChartGroupItem Text="GroupItem2">
<RenderedFields>
<telerik:OrgChartRenderedField Text="Email: item2@foo.bar" />
</RenderedFields>
</telerik:OrgChartGroupItem>
</GroupItems>
</telerik:OrgChartNode>
</Nodes>
</telerik:OrgChartNode>
</Nodes>
</telerik:RadOrgChart>
And this is the result of calling OrgChart.GetXml() method:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<RadOrgChart GroupColumnCount="2">
<Nodes>
<Node>
<Fields>
<Field Text="Bosses" />
</Fields>
<Items>
<Item Text="GroupItem1" />
<Item Text="GroupItem2" />
<Item Text="GroupItem3" />
<Item Text="GroupItem4" />
</Items>
<Nodes>
<Node ColumnCount="1">
<Fields>
<Field Text="Workers" />
</Fields>
<Items>
<Item Text="GroupItem1">
<Fields>
<Field Text="Email: item1@foo.bar" />
</Fields>
</Item>
<Item Text="GroupItem2">
<Fields>
<Field Text="Email: item2@foo.bar" />
</Fields>
</Item>
</Items>
</Node>
</Nodes>
</Node>
</Nodes>
</RadOrgChart>
XML Import
The reverse process is also implemented - XML Import (LoadXml).
If there were 2 OrgChart declarations in the above sample (second one empty), it's that simple to reload the first in the second one:
RadOrgChart2.LoadXml(RadOrgChart1.GetXml());
The result would be 2 OrgCharts, looking exactly like this:
