Hi Brent,

To save everything except the ValueList's of the Grid column’s, you can do something like this.

grid.DisplayLayout.SaveAsXml(stream, PropertyCategories.All & ~PropertyCategories.ValueLists);

Please try this and let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Brent,

There is no ‘!’ operator when using PropertyCatogories. I meant not to include ValueLists flag in the combination when I said
! ValueLists. I apologize for the confusion caused. To save multiple layout categories, those should be combined using logical “Or”.

You can use either Bands or Unbound Columns flag in PropertyCatogories to exclude ValueLists. Some categories implicitly include others. You can refer to the PropertyCatogories enum latest documentation at the below link to read more about the categories that are implicitly included.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Sahaja,

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried doing that, but I get the error "Operator '!' cannot be applied to operand of type 'PropertyCategories'" My code is below. Any ideas?

grid.DisplayLayout.SaveAsXml(stream, PropertyCategories.All & !PropertyCategories.ValueLists);
