Saving or Loading a Chart

You can read or write to a file or stream using the IXmlSerializable interface.

Example

The following code writes to a file.

FarPoint.Win.Chart.ChartModel model = chart.Model;
System.Xml.XmlTextWriter writer = new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(@"c:\temp\test.xml", null);
model.WriteXml(writer);
writer.Close();

Dim model As FarPoint.Win.Chart.ChartModel = chart.Model
Dim writer As New System.Xml.XmlTextWriter("c:\temp\test.xml", Nothing)
model.WriteXml(writer)
writer.Close()

The following code reads from a file.

FarPoint.Win.Chart.ChartModel model = chart.Model;
System.Xml.XmlTextReader reader = new System.Xml.XmlTextReader(@"c:\temp\test.xml");
model.ReadXml(reader);
reader.Close();

Dim model As FarPoint.Win.Chart.ChartModel = Chart.Model
Dim reader As New System.Xml.XmlTextReader("c:\temp\test.xml")
model.ReadXml(reader)
reader.Close()
