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

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...

A Debug version won't really help. From the call stack, I can see where the exception is occurring. It happens to be the same line of code we already fixed. The question is... why is the grid trying and failing to get an assembly reference. If you took out all the references to your other assembly, then the grid should not even be attempting that. Also, if you are referencing classes in that assembly before you try to load the layout, then there should not be a problem.

I suspect that this issue is already fixed, but I am just be careful here. I would hate for you to wait and get the service release and find that you still have a problem.

No, I don't see how that could have anything to do with it. The DisplayLayout has no ContextMenu properties, so those cannot be saved or loaded.

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)
