Hello,

i use UltraWebGrid 10.2 CLR 3.5 and i have many different datasources.

What i want is to maintenance Column width, Column hidden etc. in a file and load it at runtime, for example in InitializeLayout Event. Different datasource has different columnname.

One datasource is XDoc, one datasource is Entity. I works fine but the columns are fixed and have a column width 200px. This is not nice and I want to specified the columns by file so it is easy to change width or hidden of colums without compile the source codes.

How I can do that, because LoadLayout is obsolate and XmlRead I don't know to use. I can't find any examples in Web. 

UltraWebGrid in HTML:

                    <igtbl:UltraWebGrid ID="OrderGrid" runat="server" Browser="Xml" Height="40%" Width="100%"
                        oninitializelayout="OrderGrid_InitializeLayout"

                        </Bands>
                    </igtbl:UltraWebGrid>
