How To: Save and load settings with RadGridView for Silverlight

Wednesday, April 08, 2009 by Vladimir Enchev | Comments 5

I’ve made another demo (similar to this one) on how to save and restore various RadGridView settings using IsolatedStorageFile and DataContractSerializer. Again to turn on this for your grid you can simply set RadGridViewSettings.IsEnabled attached property:

<UserControl x:Class="SaveLoadSettingsWithRadGridViewForSilverlight.Page"
   xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
   xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
   xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"
    xmlns:ts="clr-namespace:Telerik.Settings">
    <Gridx:Name="LayoutRoot"Background="White">
        <telerik:RadGridView ts:RadGridViewSettings.IsEnabled="True" x:Name="RadGridView1" />
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

Saved settings are

Sorting
Grouping
Filtering
Frozen columns
Columns width and order

Enjoy!

I cannot find a reference to Telerik.Settings either!

How do we find this or has it now changed?

Also, is it possible to remove columns from the Grid and save the layout with the columns removed so they do not appear when it's next loaded.

Regards

Hi Mitch,

You can check the latest version of this demo here:
http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#GridView/SaveLoadSettings

You can easily add save/restore which column(s) will be loaded and/or visible in RadGridViewSettings class.

Hello Vlad,

I am confused - is the code built into the RadGridView or do we have to copy the RadGridViewSettings class from the example?

Thanks
