Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Function Deserialize( _
   ByVal r As XmlNodeReader _
) As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As Appearance
Dim r As XmlNodeReader
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.Deserialize(r)

public virtual bool Deserialize( 
   XmlNodeReader r
)

Parameters

r: XmlNodeReader from which to load the object

Return Value

Boolean: true if successful; false otherwise

Remarks

This method deserializes the public properties and fields of the Appearance object.

Example

This example creates a new Appearance object, sets the BackColor, ForeColor, Font, HorizontalAlign and VerticalAlign properties, then applies those settings to an instance of a Cell object. In the click events of two buttons the object can be either deserialized or serialized. This code does the same thing as Serializer.SaveObject and Serializer.LoadObject, and works for any object that implements ISerializeSupport.

FarPoint.Web.Spread.Appearance appr = new FarPoint.Web.Spread.Appearance();
FarPoint.Web.Spread.Cell acell;
appr.BackColor = Color.Red;
appr.ForeColor = Color.White;
appr.Font.Bold = true;
appr.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Right;
appr.VerticalAlign = VerticalAlign.Top;
acell = FpSpread1.Cells[0,0];
acell.BackColor = appr.BackColor;
acell.ForeColor = appr.ForeColor;
acell.Font.Bold = appr.Font.Bold;
acell.HorizontalAlign = appr.HorizontalAlign;
acell.VerticalAlign = appr.VerticalAlign;
FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView.SetValue(0, 0, "Appearance Test");
FpSpread1.Columns[0].Width = 150;
FpSpread1.Rows[0].Height = 60;


private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    string fileName = "D:\\Temp\\myser.xml";
    System.IO.Stream stream = System.IO.File.Open(fileName, System.IO.FileMode.Create);
    System.Xml.XmlTextWriter writer = new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(stream,     System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
    writer.Formatting = System.Xml.Formatting.Indented;
    writer.Indentation = 2;
    writer.WriteStartDocument();
    writer.WriteStartElement("Appearance");
    appr.Serialize(writer);
    writer.WriteEndElement();
    writer.WriteEndDocument();
    writer.Close();  
}

private void Button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    bool b;
    System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
    System.Xml.XmlNode node; 
    System.Xml.XmlNodeReader r;
    doc.Load("D:\\Temp\\myser.xml");
    node = doc.FirstChild;
    while (!node.Name.Equals("Appearance"))
        node = node.NextSibling;
    r = new System.Xml.XmlNodeReader(node);
    r.Read();
    b = appr.Deserialize(r);
    ListBox1.Items.Add(b.ToString());  
}
