Serialize/Deserialize to XML

RadTreeView methods LoadXML and SaveXML serialize the contents and state of the entire RadTreeView and its nodes. These methods can be useful when you want to save the data locally and without needing to connect to a database for binding.

TreeView xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" AllowDragDrop="true" LabelEdit="true" ThemeName="Breeze" AllowDrop="true" BackColor="Transparent"><Nodes Expanded="true" Text="Node1"><Nodes Expanded="true" Text="Node7"><Nodes Text="Node15" /><Nodes Text="Node16" /></Nodes><Nodes Expanded="true" Text="Node8"><Nodes Text="Node14" /></Nodes><Nodes Text="Node9" /></Nodes><Nodes Expanded="true" Text="Node2"><Nodes Text="Node10" /><Nodes Text="Node11" /></Nodes><Nodes Text="Node3" /><Nodes Expanded="true" Text="Node4"><Nodes Text="Node12" /><Nodes Text="Node13" /></Nodes><Nodes Text="Node5" /><Nodes Text="Node6" /></TreeView>

For direct access to the tree view XML as text use the TreeViewXML property.

The contents of the saved XML file contain the properties for the RadTreeView as a whole and each of the nodes in the tree.

RadTreeView supports save/load functionality at design time via the Property Builder.
