ShouldSerialize Method (StyleSettingsCollection)

Indicates if the object has any information to serialize.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Function ShouldSerialize() As Boolean

C#

public bool ShouldSerialize()

Return Value

True if the object contains any information to serialize for the style; otherwise false is returned.

Example

Visual Basic

' Each settable property on an Infragistics controls and sub-object has an
' associated ShouldSerializeXXX method (where XXX is the property name)
' that returns true if the property has been modified and needs to be
' serialized.  Since this method is protected, it is only available to
' classes derived from Infragistics controls or sub-objects.
'
' The following example shows how to create a class derived from an
' Infragistics UltraToolbarsManager control and expose a property that
' calls UltraToolbarManager's protected ShouldSerializeStyle method
' to return whether the Style property is set to its default value.

Public Class MyToolbarsManager
      Inherits UltraToolbarsManager
 
      Public ReadOnly Property IsStyleSetToDefaultValue() As Boolean
            Get
                  ' Call our UltraToolbarManager base class protected method
                  ' ShouldSerializeStyle to determine if the Style property
                  ' is currently set to its default value.
                  If Me.ShouldSerializeStyle() = True Then
                        return False
                  else
                        return True
                  End If
            End Get
      End Property
End Class
