List not only lets you save the layout but also lets you load the layout from XML files. Loading the saved layouts also helps in reducing your time and effort in re-creating the same structure.

To load list layout from an XML document, you can simply call **LoadLayout** method of the <span data-popup-content="This class is available in \u003ca href=\u0022/componentone/docs/win/online-list/\u0022\u003e.NET\u003c/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\u0022/componentone/docs/win/online-list/\u0022\u003e.NET Framework\u003c/a\u003e." data-popup-title="C1List" data-popup-theme="ui-tooltip-green qtip-green">C1List</span> class and parse name of the XML document as a parameter.

Use the following code to import list layout from XML file.

```csharp
//import layout from c1list.xml file
if (File.Exists("c1list.xml"))
{
    c1List1.LoadLayout("c1list.xml");
}
```
