I tried, but an object reference exception occurs in LoadFromXml Method.

the layout was used with 9.2 ... then i changed the volume to 10.1 and it doesnt work anymore

Now i resetted the the column tags before saving the layout and the exception still occurs when i switch the volume from 9.2 to 10.1...

Sounds like they may be some other issue at work here.

If you can duplicate the exception with a small sample project, I would really like to take a look at it and just make sure that this will be fixed. I realize that may be difficult, since we probably can't access your data source. But I've tried testing this myself and I can't get it to happen.

Ok, i try to create a sample but it isnt really easy to recreate the issue outside my real app

I understand. How about we come at this from the opposite angle. I'm attaching a very simple sample here with a grid in v9.2 and a couple of buttons to save/load the layout. There's also a saved layout (saved with 9.2) already included in the bin folder.

Try updating this project to v10.1 and click the load button and see if that works for you. It works for me. So if this causes an exception when you do it, we will know that the problem is already fixed internally and will be fixed in the next service release.

If it works for you, then we know there is something else at work here and we will probably a sample from you in order to find out what it is.

Can the exception maybe caused by the Context Menu?

I use a ultra toolbar manager for the grid's context menu... the items are dynamically created in code some time after the grid layout has been initialized...

I have the same problem with the Installer,

Not yet... i use windows 7 ultimate...

do you have the same problem with the installer or the grid layout migration?

Did you receive any information to solve that problem?

I have the same issue.

My OS is Windows 7 (premium)
