Persisting user-interface settings

I have done the hard work of getting to grips with WPF and now have an
almost working application - but how do I save layout settings?
I guess I could iterate over each control in a window, and save only
the settings I required, but this just strikes me as something that
would be part of WPF.
Any input or suggestions of how to tackle this problem would be
appreciated. BTW - I dont wish to save control content - just layout
information, i.e. window width, control height, column widths, etc.

Thanks,

Chris.

Hello.

The following code can serialize to XML or deserialize from XML a grid
object and display the XML in a TextBox...


In order to serialize objects :
---------------------------------------------
// mainGrid is type Grid
xamlSource.Text = XamlWriter.Save(mainGrid);
---------------------------------------------

To deserialize objects :
---------------------------------------------
try
{
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(new
StringReader(xamlSource.Text));
hostGrid.Children.Clear();

hostGrid.Children.Add((UIElement)XamlReader.Load(reader));
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
}
---------------------------------------------

Maybe that helps ?
