Hello,

your DataGridView control includes the SaveLayout feature, but it saves everything, including font size and other visual settings. I would like to save only selected properties—for example, just the conditional formatting. I’m aware that serialization is an option, but it’s lengthy and not user‑friendly. Is it possible to enhance SaveLayout so it can save only specific properties?

Regards

Radek

Hello, Radek,

RadGridView serialization API provides a wide range of options that enable the programmer to customize the serialized content in a flexible manner. Based on the principles of the standard Microsoft .NET XML serialization approach, the API can be easily used for implementing different serialization scenarios.

The following article demonstrates how to alter the default serialization procedure and explicitly define the properties to be serialized during save/load layout: https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/controls/gridview/features/save-and-load-layout/advanced
