save control user to xml file

save control user to xml file

• Meaning Of Lights

  Hi sir:

  I have create a demo for adding controls in form load event as follows;

  for (int i = 0; i <= 3; i++)

  {

  TextBox TB = new TextBox();

  TB.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(42, 20*i);

  TB.Name = "textBox"+i.ToString();

  TB.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(80, 20);

  TB.TabIndex = i;

  this.Controls.Add(TB);

  }

  and if you want using xml , we can store controls name in xml files, I can continue to create some xml reading code,

  if you need,

  Best Regards!

  yes I think we can add object than convert object to controls as we defined in XML file;

  I still use the old XML , as I think we can easily read "System.Windows.Forms.Button" as some control type

  hope it help you

  You can't do it that way.

  The easiest way is to just store also the textbox's attributes/properties that you want to set during creation in the XML file.

  you can try as my demo shows, just store some properity in the xml file;

  such as control's name, location, and read those properity when you want to load those controls:)

  Best Regards!
