Public Property NonSerializableContent As String

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As ChartSerializer Dim value As String   instance.NonSerializableContent = value   value = instance.NonSerializableContent

public string NonSerializableContent {get; set;}

Return Value

A comma-separated string expression that represents the chart properties to not be serialized. The syntax is "Class.Property[,Class.Property]".

The following example serializes all appearance properties (that have non-default values), except for all chart BackColor properties.

C#

Copy Code

// Save chart appearance properties that have non-default values, except for all BackColor properties Chart1.Serializer.Content = SerializationContent.Appearance; Chart1.Serializer.NonSerializableContent = "*.BackColor"; Chart1.Serializer.Save("AppearanceProps.xml"); ... // Load the serialized appearance properties Chart1.Serializer.Content = SerializationContent.Appearance; Chart1.Serializer.NonSerializableContent = "*.BackColor"; Chart1.Serializer.Load("AppearanceProps.xml");

Visual Basic

Copy Code

' Save chart appearance properties that have non-default values, except for all BackColor properties Chart1.Serializer.Content = SerializationContent.Appearance Chart1.Serializer.NonSerializableContent = "*.BackColor" Chart1.Serializer.Save("AppearanceProps.xml") ... ' Load the serialized appearance properties Chart1.Serializer.Content = SerializationContent.Appearance Chart1.Serializer.NonSerializableContent = "*.BackColor" Chart1.Serializer.Load("AppearanceProps.xml")

By default all chart properties will be serialized when the Save and Load methods are called. To limit chart characteristics to be serialized the NonSerializableContent property can be used (along with the SerializableContent and Content properties).

This property determines what chart characteristics will not be serialized. Wildcards can be used in the string expression, in the same manner as the SerializableContent property. For example, to exclude all chart BackColor properties from serialization set this property to "*.BackColor".

Sometimes a property can be set to be both serialized and not serialized (common when wildcards are used). NonSerializableContent has a lower priority when compared to the SerializableContent string expression. However, note that less weight is given to string expressions that use wildcards. For example, if SerializableContent is set to "*.BackColor" and NonSerializableContent is set to "ChartArea.BackColor" then all BackColor properties except for ChartArea objects will be serialized.

If the Content property has been set then the priority depends on how many wild cards are used in the NonSerializableContent expression. For example, setting the Content property to SerializationContent.Appearance will result in the SerializableContent property containing a "*.Back*" expression. If NonSerializableContent is set to "*.Back*" then all BackXXX chart properties will still be serialized since SerializableContent has higher priority compared to NonSerializableContent.

This property affects all save, load and reset operations.
