    I noticed the online documentation link doesn't work anymore
    http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radgridview-how-to-saveload-gridview-layout.html

    When moving the to the new binaries the old code breaks. Somethings are mentioned in the Breaking Changes thread, but somethings are not.

    SortDirection wasn't covered in the thread, I guessed:
    IColumnFilterDescriptor columnDescriptor = (from c in grid.Columns.OfType<GridViewBoundColumnBase>()
                where c.GetDataMemberName() == setting.PropertyName
                select c).FirstOrDefault().ColumnFilterDescriptor;
    columnDescriptor.SuspendNotifications();
    columnDescriptor.Column.SortingState = SortListToSettings(setting.SortDirection);
    columnDescriptor.ResumeNotifications();


    FieldFilter.Filter1.Member doesn't work anymore, I guessed to remove it:

                                    IColumnFilterDescriptor cfd = matchingColumn.ColumnFilterDescriptor;
                                    cfd.SuspendNotifications();
                                    if (setting.Filter1 != null && setting.Filter1.Member != null)
                                    {
                                        cfd.FieldFilter.Filter1.Member = setting.Filter1.Member;
                                        cfd.FieldFilter.Filter1.Operator = setting.Filter1.Operator;
                                        cfd.FieldFilter.Filter1.Value = setting.Filter1.Value;
                                    }
    ...
    cfd.ResumeNotifications();

    also, this doesn't work
     FilterSetting setting = new FilterSetting();
     setting.PropertyName = cfd.Column.DataMemberBinding.Path.Path;


    Are these ok?  Are you going to replace the documentation on how to restore settings?
    Maybe alll of those functions have to be re-written, but I don't have time to do that right now. I was wondering if there are some quick fixes.

    Hello Dan,

    Actually, the current suggested approach is to work with RadPersistenceFramework. Please refer to our demos for a reference.
