Save(Stream) Method

Serializes the current NamedCellStyleDictionary to an XML file stream.

Syntax

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

Public Overloads Sub Save( _
   ByVal stream As Stream _
)

Dim instance As NamedCellStyleDictionary
Dim stream As Stream
 
instance.Save(stream)

public void Save( 
   Stream stream
)

Parameters

stream: The target XML file stream.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	The stream is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

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