Save Grid Layout

[Mark]

Hi,
My users are changing the grid client-side (sort, filter, column order, etc).
What i would like to do is be able to save the grid layout, so when the page is reloaded, i can load these settings, so the grid looks the same as when the user left it. Is this possible ?
To xml or database ???

Thanks in advance
Mark

Mark,

This is really easy, try this.

aspx Page:

 <asp:Button ID="Button1" Text="Save Grid Settings" OnClick="ButtonSave_Click" Width="120" runat="server" />

Code Behind:

protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
  GridSettingsPersister settings = new GridSettingsPersister(RadGrid1);
  if (Request.Cookies["RadGrid1Settings"] != null)
    {
     settings.LoadSettings(Convert.ToString(Request.Cookies["RadGrid1Settings"]["Data"]));
    }
 }

    protected void ButtonSave_Click(Object obj, EventArgs e)
    {
        GridSettingsPersister settings = new GridSettingsPersister(RadGrid1);
        Response.Cookies["RadGrid1Settings"]["Data"] = Convert.ToString(settings.SaveSettings());
        Response.Cookies["RadGrid1Settings"]["Time"] = DateTime.Now.ToString("G");
        Response.Cookies["RadGrid1Settings"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(1);
       // Label1.Text = "Cookie created!<p>" + "Your cookie contains:<font color=red>" + Request.Cookies["RadGrid1Settings"]["Data"] + "<br>" + Request.Cookies["RadGrid1Settings"]["Time"] + "</font>";
    }

Now my settings persist for 30 days.  If you want you can make a drop down for the length of time (days, months, years, etc.) to save the settings or until the user deletes their cookie.

This is a very simple approach but it works like a charm.
