Hello,
I've an existing Winform app that uses LoadFromXML() and SaveAsXml() to load/modify menus.
Is this possible in ASP.NET ?
I can't find any control that has "Infragistics.WebUI.UltraToolBarsManager" or "WebToolManager" or something.
Thanks
Hello ,
For the Infragistics ASP components, similar equivalent (I would like to highlight that it is not the same, and used formats are different and you will not be able to save layout of WindowsForms component and to load it on ASP component ) of SaveToXml()/LoadFomXml() is our Persistence Framework. More information about ti you will find on the following link:
http://help.infragistics.com/doc/ASPNET/2014.1/CLR4.0/?page=PersistenceFramework_About_Persistence_Framework.html
and on the following link you could review several samples about Persistence Framework:

I hope that this will helps you.
Actually, my requirement is to pull menu save in Windows Form app and show on Web app.
In fact similar to windows form control, I shall be able to add buttons into the menu and save back in XML format to be viewed later in Windows Form app.
So this option of persistence framework, will not work for me.
What you could do in your case is to bind your WebDataMenu to XMLDataSource

So you should implement class or assembly which generates xml like those one shown in our documentation, from your Toolbar in your WinFroms application, in order to be able to use it in your ASP project, and vice versa.
