Hello,
I am trying to use the Actipro DockSite Save Layout and Load Layout features. However, when I attempt to load the layout back I get a different layout then what was saved. I have verified the Load layout is loading the same exact xml string that was saved.
Here's the xaml that is used to define the Docksite:
<docking:DockSite x:Name="RootDockSite" IsLiveSplittingEnabled="True" UseHostedRaftingWindows="False" UseHostedDockGuides="False" UseLayoutRounding="True" UseHostedAutoHidePopups="False"> <docking:DockSite.AutoHideBottomContainers> <docking:ToolWindowContainer> <docking:ToolWindow Title="Journal" CanClose="False"> <localControls:Journal DataContext="{Binding}" ></localControls:Journal> </docking:ToolWindow> </docking:ToolWindowContainer> </docking:DockSite.AutoHideBottomContainers> <docking:SplitContainer> <docking:SplitContainer Orientation="Vertical"> <docking:SplitContainer> <!-- Top Left Dock -

Here's the c# I am using to save and load the docksite:
DockSiteLayoutSerializer layoutSerializer = new DockSiteLayoutSerializer();
string layoutString = layoutSerializer.SaveToString(RootDockSite);
... save string to repository
... after reloading exact xml layout string from repository
layoutSerializer.LoadFromString(layoutString, RootDockSite);
here's the serialized DockSite layout xml:
<DockSiteLayout xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" SerializationFormat="ToolWindowsOnly">

As I mentioned. When I reload this saved layout the layout is not the same is it was when saved. I can provide screenshots if needed.
