WorkflowDesignerLoader.PerformLoad(IDesignerSerializationManager) Method

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Design
Assembly:
System.Workflow.ComponentModel.dll

Loads the designer from a design document.

protected:
 override void PerformLoad(System::ComponentModel::Design::Serialization::IDesignerSerializationManager ^ serializationManager);
protected override void PerformLoad (System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.IDesignerSerializationManager serializationManager);
override this.PerformLoad : System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.IDesignerSerializationManager -> unit
Protected Overrides Sub PerformLoad (serializationManager As IDesignerSerializationManager)

Parameters

serializationManager
IDesignerSerializationManager

Class that implements the IDesignerSerializationManager interface, which manages design-time serialization.

Examples

The following example shows how to override the PerformLoad method to deserialize a workflow and load it in the designer using the AddObjectGraphToDesignerHost helper method.

protected override void PerformLoad(IDesignerSerializationManager serializationManager)
{
    IDesignerHost designerHost = (IDesignerHost)GetService(typeof(IDesignerHost));
    Activity rootActivity = null;

    // If a WorkflowType already exists, create an instance instead of reading from file
    if (WorkflowType != null)
    {
        rootActivity = (Activity)Activator.CreateInstance(WorkflowType);
    }
    else
    {
        // Create a text reader out of the doc data
        TextReader reader = new StringReader(this.xoml);
        try
        {
            using (XmlReader xmlReader = XmlReader.Create(reader))
            {
                WorkflowMarkupSerializer xomlSerializer = new WorkflowMarkupSerializer();
                rootActivity = xomlSerializer.Deserialize(xmlReader) as Activity;
            }
        }
        finally
        {
            reader.Close();
        }
    }

    if (rootActivity != null && designerHost != null)
    {
        AddObjectGraphToDesignerHost(designerHost, rootActivity);
    }
}
