Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello Justin,

Yes, this is possible by using a few lines of code. Please consider the following sample:

' save the grid layout to the GridLayout setting
Using stream As New MemoryStream()
    Me.radGridView1.SaveLayout(stream)
    stream.Position = 0
    Dim buffer As Byte() = New Byte(CInt(stream.Length) - 1) {}
    stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
    My.Settings.[Default].GridLayout = Convert.ToBase64String(buffer)
End Using

' load the layout
Using stream As New MemoryStream(Convert.FromBase64String(My.Settings.[Default].GridLayout))
    Me.radGridView1.LoadLayout(stream)
End Using

I hope it helps.
 
All the best,
