Please forgive my lack of understanding on how the Persistence Framework functions.
I have an application where I allow users to set what columns on a Grid View are visible or hidden. When they close the application, I want to save their preferences. When they open the application, I want to reload their preferences from the last time they used the program.
This seems like a good job for Persistence Framework. I began by looking at this WPF online help example:http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/persistence-framework-getting-started.html
The code that saves my Grid View layout as a stream seems to be working, however, I'm having trouble reloading the layout once the application has been closed and re-opened. When I re-open the application my Stream object is nothing, so the PersistenceManager.Load method throws an error. I don't understand how to retrieve my saved Grid View Layout.
Can you describe how Persistence Framework functions, and help me understand how I retrieve and apply my saved Grid View layout?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,
If you save the settings in a stream field in your application, then when you restart it, the field's value will be nothing and this is expected.
Please note that you should save the stream outside of the application - in a file (for example an XML file), in a Database or in IsolatedStorage. This help article on saving the layout of UIElements in an isolated storage might be helpful .
I would suggest you to also check the "GridView Serialization" WPF Demo and check how the data is applied back to the RadGridView.

I also want to save the grid settings between sessions. This includes grouping, column order, etc. I used the GridView Serialization example to store the grid settings in a stream, but I'm not sure how to save the stream to storage. Can you give an example or is it possible to use the Isolated storage to save grouping. By default the telerik isolated storage does not save grouping.
Thanks,
Curtis

As to saving and restoring the groups' states, you can go through this forum thread. It is for Silverlight, but the same approach can be applied for WPF.
