Hello,
how can i save the ribbon customizations to a stream from code, without using the customization window?
Thank you in advance,
Michael
HI ,
Here link to our Persistance Framework:
http://help.infragistics.com/Doc/Silverlight/2012.2/CLR4.0/?page=Control_Persistence_Framework.html
I am attaching a sample at well.
Sincerely,
MattDeveloper Support Engineer
Hi Matt,
thank you, but the issue is that the Import/Export procedure creates an <XamWebRibbonExportData> xml document while Persistence Framework
creates a huge xml file instead...
Anyway, i tried the sample you sent me, using the latest IG2012.2 assemblies....
Below are my results ...
1)Export command does not work from customization dialog (null reference exception)
2)Added a new tab from customization dialog, saved the ribbon with PersistenceFramework.
On Load it only restored the first tab, instead of the three tabs it should show...
Regards,
Hi,
The ribbon exposes two methods that you can use: ribbon.ExportRibbonLayout() and respectively - ImportRibbonLayout(), both accepting a stream as an input parameter.
Hope this helps,
Hi Georgi,
i have already tried these methods and they throw an exception, below is the stack trace on Export
"System.NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I thought that the method is to be called only from the customization form and i misused them...
But there must be a bug, because the null reference exception is raised from customization form also, you can check it on the Matt's example which i upgraded to v12.2 latest SP
Hi Michael,
Yes - this definitely looks like a bug. I'll make sure it gets DEV's attention. Thanks for reporting it!
