Load(String) Method

Deserializes the current NamedCellStyleDictionary from an XML file.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Visual Basic (Usage)
C#

Public Overloads Sub Load( _
   ByVal path As String _
)

Dim instance As NamedCellStyleDictionary
Dim path As String
 
instance.Load(path)

public void Load( 
   string path
)

Parameters

path: The source XML file.

Remarks

You can make a set of skins, store them in the NamedCellStyleDictionary, and then save them to a file. You can then load them from a file if needed.

Example

The following code example shows how to implement the "AlternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle" and the "ColumnsDefaultCellStyle". When the form is loaded, add a Template to the GcMultiRow control. This Template sets the odd columns with "ColumnsDefaultCellStyle" and sets the even columns with "AlternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle". After the application is running, if you want to change the "AlternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle" or "ColumnsDefaultCellStyle", you need only change the GcMultiRow.NamedCellStyles's corresponding item and the new CellStyle is applied. You can save GcMultiRow.NamedCellStyles to a file and then load it if needed. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the NamedCellStyle class.

void setFirstNamedCellStyle_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            CellStyle alternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle = new CellStyle();
            alternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(150, 160, 159);
            alternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.White;
            alternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle.NullValue = "Text";
            //Change the "AlternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle"
            this.gcMultiRow1.NamedCellStyles["AlternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle"] = alternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle;

            CellStyle columnsDefaultCellStyle = new CellStyle();
            columnsDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(226, 228, 228);
            columnsDefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Black;
            columnsDefaultCellStyle.NullValue = "Text";
            //Change the "ColumnsDefaultCellStyle"
            this.gcMultiRow1.NamedCellStyles["ColumnsDefaultCellStyle"] = columnsDefaultCellStyle;

            //You can load one predefined NamedCellStyleDictionary from one file.
            //this.gcMultiRow1.NamedCellStyles.Load(@"C:\temp\NamedCellStyles.xml");
            //You can save the NamedCellStyleDictionary to one file.
            //this.gcMultiRow1.NamedCellStyles.Save(@"C:\temp\NamedCellStyles.xml");
        }

VB.NET

Private Sub setFirstNamedCellStyle_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles setFirstStyle.Click
        Dim alternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle As New CellStyle()
        alternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(150, 160, 159)
        alternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.White
        alternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle.NullValue = "Text"
        'Change the "AlternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle"
        Me.gcMultiRow1.NamedCellStyles("AlternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle") = alternatingColumnsDefaultCellStyle

        Dim columnsDefaultCellStyle As New CellStyle()
        columnsDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(226, 228, 228)
        columnsDefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Black
        columnsDefaultCellStyle.NullValue = "Text"
        'Change the "ColumnsDefaultCellStyle"
        Me.gcMultiRow1.NamedCellStyles("ColumnsDefaultCellStyle") = columnsDefaultCellStyle

        'You can load one predefined NamedCellStyleDictionary from one file.
        'this.gcMultiRow1.NamedCellStyles.Load(@"C:\temp\NamedCellStyles.xml");
        'You can save the NamedCellStyleDictionary to one file.
        'this.gcMultiRow1.NamedCellStyles.Save(@"C:\temp\NamedCellStyles.xml");
    End Sub
