  • 1.  How to serialize a Layer

    Posted 03-29-2020 19:03
    Hi,

    I don't know how to serialize the layer I need.  (MapxTeme 8.1 + VB.Net)
    I have this code


    Dim oCatalog As Catalog = Session.Current.Catalog
    Dim oMITable As Table = oCatalog.GetTable("Localidades")
    Dim oLayer As New FeatureLayer(oMITable)

    Dim mySerializer As XmlSerializer = New XmlSerializer(GetType(FeatureLayer))
    Dim myWriter As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter("myFileName.xml")

    mySerializer.Serialize(myWriter, oLayer)
    myWriter.Close()

    But the line in bold, give me an error.  Which is the correct class?

    Thank you!

    Here is the code snippet which shall work for you.

    BinaryFormatter _formatter = new BinaryFormatter();

    MemoryStream serializedLayers = new MemoryStream();

    FeatureLayer layer = (FeatureLayer)GetMapControl().Map.Layers[0];
    layer.Enabled = true;

    _formatter.Serialize(serializedLayers, GetMapControl().Map.Layers[0]);
    layer.Enabled = false;

    serializedLayers.Position = 0;

    FeatureLayer layer2 = (FeatureLayer)_formatter.Deserialize(serializedLayers);
    GetMapControl().Map.Layers.Remove(GetMapControl().Map.Layers[0]);
    GetMapControl().Map.Layers.Add(layer2);

     

    I am able to get back the visibility true. Since it was true when serialized.
