You can use the Layout property to store the control's layout and to restore the layout later. For instance, you can save the control's Layout property to a file when the application is closing, and you can restore the control's layout when the application is loaded. The Layout property saves almost all of the control's properties that user can change at runtime ( like changing the event's position by drag and drop ). The Layout property does NOT save the control's data, so the Layout property should be called once you loaded the data from your database, xml or any other alternative. Once the data is loaded, you can call the Layout property to restore the View as it was saved. Before closing the application, you can call the Layout property and save the content to a file for reading next time the application is opened.

The Layout property saves/loads the following information:

• OnResizeControl property, that specifies how the panels are arranged, sized and so on.
• The selection in the calendar panel (selected date )
• The date begin browsed in the calendar panel, Date property
• The alignment, position and width for each time scale
• The alignment, position and width for each time group
• The selection in the schedule panel (selected events )
• The schedule view scrolling position

These properties are serialized as a string.
