Serialization of Summary Rows?

[Rachel]

Hi,

I am using the SaveLayout and LoadLayout features of the grid to persist some of my grid settings, and one in particular is giving me trouble.  I would like to include the SummaryRowsBottom summary rows in my serialization, but I can't seem to get the right objects added to my SerializationMetadata collection.  I know it is possible by using the default serialization, but I am just adding the items I want to persist, so I need to add the items separately.  Could you provide an example of how to add the summary rows?

Thank you,

Rachel

Hi Rachel,

Currently you can't use the summary rows collections with Save/Load layout functionality. We will add this issue in our TODO list and it will be addressed in one of our upcoming releases.

If you have other questions, I will be glad to answer them.

All the best,

Hi Jack,

I saw some mention of 'persistancy support for summary rows' in the new release 2009.1 414.  Does that mean I can now save and load my summary rows with the layout?

Thanks again,

Rachel

Hello Rachel,

Yes, using our latest release you can serialize the summary rows by using the SaveLayout method. If you have any other questions, I will be glad to answer.

Thanks Jack, that's great news!  Do you have an example of what I should add to my SerializationMetatdata?  I am not using the default serialization, but am instead saving only a few settings, like in the KB article here:

Thanks again,

Never mind, I figured out where my mistake was.  Here's what worked for me:

       this.radGridView1.XmlSerializationInfo.SerializationMetadata.Add(

                       typeof(GridViewTemplate),

                       "SummaryRowsBottom",

                       DesignerSerializationVisibilityAttribute.Content

                       );

                    this.radGridView1.XmlSerializationInfo.SerializationMetadata.Add(

                        typeof(GridViewSummaryRowItem),

                        "GridViewSummaryItem",

                        DesignerSerializationVisibilityAttribute.Content

                        );

                    this.radGridView1.XmlSerializationInfo.SerializationMetadata.Add(

                        typeof(GridViewSummaryItem),

                        "Aggregate",

                        DesignerSerializationVisibilityAttribute.Visible

                        );

                    this.radGridView1.XmlSerializationInfo.SerializationMetadata.Add(

                        typeof(GridViewSummaryItem),

                        "FieldName",

                        DesignerSerializationVisibilityAttribute.Visible

                        );

                    this.radGridView1.XmlSerializationInfo.SerializationMetadata.Add(

                        typeof(GridViewSummaryItem),

                        "FormatString",

                        DesignerSerializationVisibilityAttribute.Visible

                        );

Thanks!
