Topic Overview

Purpose

This topic demonstrates how to Save/Load the UltraCarousel layout including carousel items, unless the control is bound to data. In that case the control has to be re-bound after loading the saved layout.

In this topic

This topic contains the following sections:

Overview

Introduction

The UltraCarousel control allows to save and load the user configuration in code and design-time. The configuration dialog contains additional options to include/exclude elements for saving.

Note
Note:

The saved configuration will include the items, unless the control is bound to data. In that case it would be necessary to re-bind the control after loading the previously saved configuration.

Application Requirements

  1. Install the Infragistics WinForms 2014 Volume 2 or later version of the product.

  2. Start with a new Windows Forms application using Visual Studio 2010 or later version.

Design-time Save/Load

This topic assumes that you already have an existing application with UltraCarousel control on the form.

Saving carousel configuration:

  1. Start with your existing project, and open the form that contains UltraCarousel control in the Visual Studio designer.

  2. Configure the carousel control with desired options, and click the Save/Save As button icons on the carousel designer.

  3. In the popup window you have options to save all or selectively, and also file format ( XML or Binary ), then click Save on the popup dialog.

Loading carousel configuration:

To Load previously saved configuration, simply click the “Open” folder icon in the configuration dialog and navigate to the location of the saved file, and open.

In-Code Save/Load

Saving and Loading of the user configuration is available in two file formats, XML and Binary.

Saving as XML file:

In C#:

carousel1.SaveAsXml("SaveCarousel.xml");

In Visual Basic:

carousel1.SaveAsXml("SaveCarousel.xml")

Loading from XML file:

In C#:

if (File.Exists("SaveCarousel.xml"))
{
    using (Stream file = File.OpenRead("SaveCarousel.xml"))
    {
        carousel1.LoadFromXml("SaveCarousel.xml");
    }
}

In Visual Basic:

If File.Exists("SaveCarousel.xml") Then
      Using file__1 As Stream = File.OpenRead("SaveCarousel.xml")
            carousel1.LoadFromXml("SaveCarousel.xml")
      End Using
End If

Saving as Binary file:

In C#:

carousel1.SaveAsBinary("SaveCarousel.bin");

In Visual Basic:

carousel1.SaveAsBinary("SaveCarousel.bin")

Loading from Binary file:

In C#:

if (File.Exists("SaveCarousel.bin"))
{
    using (Stream file = File.OpenRead("SaveCarousel.bin"))
    {
        carousel1.LoadFromBinary("SaveCarousel.bin");
    }
}

In Visual Basic:

If File.Exists("SaveCarousel.bin") Then
      Using file__1 As Stream = File.OpenRead("SaveCarousel.bin")
            carousel1.LoadFromBinary("SaveCarousel.bin")
      End Using
End If
