Saving Grid state

[Simon]

Hi,

I am doing a quick investigation regarding the saving of a controls state. Mainly a Grid control.

What i am after is information about a user changing the column order, sort order, hiding/showing columns, etc. And then having these changes saved somewhere (locally most likely) so when they return to the page, these changes persist.

This is in regards to the Grid control for ASPX, Silverlight and HTML5 (Kendo UI).

We currently are using the Silverlight controls, but are looking at also swapping to Telerik for our ASPX system and using Kendo UI when we start developing in HTML5.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Simon,

 You can have a look at this live demo. You will find there a custom GridSettingsPersister class. It can be used to serialize most of the grid's settings (columns state, paging, filtering, etc) in a preferred format: string, byte array, custom object. Then you can easily save them and load them back using the methods in the class. You can also extend it according to your needs. Further information on this feature can be found in this help topic.

All the best,
Marin
