How To: Save and load settings with RadGridView for WPF

Friday, April 03, 2009 by Vladimir Enchev | Comments 6

I’ve made small demo on how to save and restore various RadGridView settings using ApplicationSettingsBase.
To turn on this for your grid you can simply set RadGridViewSettings.IsEnabled attached property:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1"
 xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
 xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
 xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
 xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1" 
 xmlns:ts="clr-namespace:Telerik.Settings" Title="Window1">
    <Grid>
        <Grid.Resources>
            <ObjectDataProvider x:Key="customers"
 ObjectType="{x:Type local:NorthwindDataContext}" MethodName="get_Customers">
            </ObjectDataProvider>
        </Grid.Resources>
        <telerik:RadGridView ts:RadGridViewSettings.IsEnabled="True" x:Name="RadGridView1"
 ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource customers}}"/>
    </Grid>
</Window>

Saved settings are:

Sorting
Grouping
Filtering
Frozen columns
Columns width and order

Enjoy!

Hi Sandy,

This class can be found in the posted demo. We have problems with our WPF examples code-viewer and you can check the Silverlight version of RadGridViewSettings.cs (exactly the same):

Hello,
This is very helpful article but can you tell me how to use this RadGridView settings? Do I need some references or plug-ins?
I don't have something like that available in my Visual Studio.
Thanks in advance
