I've been trying to find a (clean) way to save my form's layout -- including the window size, the RadDock layout, and the layout of each grid within each RadDock section (there are 4). So far the only way I've been able to do this requires 6 files.
1 file for the window size/location
1 file created by radDock.SaveToXml()
4 files created by each gridView.SaveLayout()
I tried combining these, but have been unable to make SaveToXml() to play nice as a section of an XML file.
I've also tried serializing the whole form (stack overflow); also tried serializing just the radDock (but then I lose all the data in the grids when I load) -- the latter doesn't save window location/size anyway.
Is there an easy way to accomplish what I'm trying to do, or do I need to become an XML/serialization grand-master?
Thanks,
Baris

Hello Baris,
The best solution for you if you want to serialize the size/location of the form, the layout of RadDock and the layout of the RadGridViews is to use separate xml files.
As to the RadGridViews and their data, you can save and load the data of the controls contained in RadDock by following this online help topic.
If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
