    Example

    The code below shows how to save a PivotEngine view as an application setting when the application ends and how to load it when the application starts.

    The code assumes that the application settings contain a string property called "PivotEngineView".

    public Form1()
    {
      InitializeComponent();
                
      // load default view
      C1PivotEngine fp = GetPivotEngine();
      string view = Properties.Settings.Default.PivotEngineView;
      if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(view))
      {
        fp.ViewDefinition = Properties.Settings.Default.PivotEngineView;
      }
    }
    protected override void OnClosed(EventArgs e)
    {
      // save current view as default
      C1PivotEngine fp = GetPivotEngine();
      Properties.Settings.Default.PivotView = fp.ViewDefinition;
      Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
    }
