Serialization problem

[kj]

Hi,

I have several problem when trying to develop app by RadDock control.

1. I use method "SaveToXml"  by saving as Strem or TextWritter format, but it does not work, could you give me a simple example? In my App, I want to save as System.IO.Stream and then save in memory.

Dim stream as System.IO.Stream

RadDock1.SaveToXml(stream)

2. Is there any property I can set to restrict the ToolWindow and do not let it be dragging outside the RadDock?

3. Can I disable the center image of DockingGuideTemplate to restrict the ToolWindow became TabbedDocument, like this http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/raddocking-features-compass.html

Hello kj,

Thank you for writing and sorry for the delayed response.

In regards to your first question, could you please try using the following declaration of your stream:

Dim stream As New FileStream("C:\test.txt", FileMode.Append)

Additional information regarding saving and loading layouts can be found in this help article.

With regards to your second question, I can suggest you to remove the floating option from the AllowedDockStates collection of the tool windows. Please consider the following snippet:

ToolWindow1.AllowedDockState = ToolWindow1.AllowedDockState And Not AllowedDockState.Floating

Information about your last question can be found in this help article - Using the DragDropService.
 
I hope you find the information above useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings,
