Serialization

In This Topic

Nevron NOV Chart for .NET supports serialization of its state to a file or stream in xml and binary formats. The serialization functionality is exposed by several methods of the NChartView object.

Serialization to File

The NChartView object SaveToFile and LoadFromFile methods can be used to save / load the chart state to / from a file:

C#	Copy Code
// Save the chart state to chartstate.xml chartView.SaveToFile("c:\\chartstate.xml", new NNevronXmlChartFormat()); // Load the chart state from chartstate.xml chartView.LoadFromFile("c:\\chartstate.xml", new NNevronXmlChartFormat());

Copy Code

// Save the chart state to chartstate.xml
chartView.SaveToFile("c:\\chartstate.xml", new NNevronXmlChartFormat());

// Load the chart state from chartstate.xml
chartView.LoadFromFile("c:\\chartstate.xml", new NNevronXmlChartFormat());

Serialization to Stream

The NChartView object SaveToStream and LoadFromStream methods can be used to save / load the chart state to / from a stream:

C#	Copy Code
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(); // Save the chart state to memory stream chartView.SaveToStream(memoryStream, new NNevronBinaryChartFormat()); // Load the chart state from memory stream memoryStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); chartView.LoadFromStream(memoryStream, new NNevronBinaryChartFormat());

Copy Code

MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();

// Save the chart state to memory stream

chartView.SaveToStream(memoryStream, new NNevronBinaryChartFormat());

// Load the chart state from memory stream

memoryStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

chartView.LoadFromStream(memoryStream, new NNevronBinaryChartFormat());
