<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>This method loads the contents of the specified file in XML format into the chart.
The file should contain the output of a call to SaveChartToFile or SaveChartAndImagesToFile.
If the latter method was used to create the load string, then any chart element images are also
reset to the saved values.
If an error occurs during the file open, reading or chart drawing,
an appropriate exception is thrown indicating the cause of error.</p>
