Set/Get personalization file

[User (Legacy)]

How can I get and save the personalization file (which is in the .net 

isolated storage)

and save it as an xml string to an access datatabase?

Later on I would like to read this string and pass it in to chart fx to 

populate the chart with the saved settings.

Any code examples or references available?

Thanks

Rather than getting the data from the file, What you want to do is override 

the Personalize.Save to do your own thing, which is saving the chart to a 

template into your database and not into a file.

To do this you can capture the InternalCommandEvent as follows:

private void chart1_InternalCommand(object sender, CommandUIEventArgs e)

{

    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();

    chart1.Export(FileFormat.BinaryTemplate,stream);

    byte[] bytes = stream.GetBuffer();

    //TODO: Save bytes into DB

}

Notice that the implementation of personalization is done through binary 

templates not using XML, you can change this by exporting to XML and setting 

FileMask to TemplateMask right before the call to export to save only those 

settings saved in a template.
