Hi,

I want to save the FlowChart to a XML file (serialize it).
I found four methods called SaveTo, SaveToFile, SaveToStream and SaveToString.

But they only save the FlowChart in a binary format.

Is there an convenient method to save the object in a XML file or do I have access to the object that is used by the SaveTo-methods? (Internally these methods must use some kind of object, which is serialized binary, too).

Thanks!

Hi,

thanks for your answer, but can you give a concrete(r) example please?

XmlWriter is abstract, I can't instantiate it. The only inherited class is XmlTextWriter. So I tried to instantiate it with the FlowChart object, but
a) I dont know how to bind the object to the writer and
b) there is no Write method (only WriteStartAttribute and so on)

I did something similar with the XmlSerializer class, but that would mean, I have to make my own class and create new properties, which can be serialized.

XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(FlowChart));

creates an error, (error reflecting type FlowChart).

That approach would be very inconvenient and time intensive.

Thanks for answer!

Hi,

You use the Flowchart.NET control, right ? Yes, the XmlWriter is in the MindFusion.FlowChartX.Xml namespace there.
