Using DockSiteLayoutSerializer

Docking/MDI for WPF Forum

Actually I do:

string xml = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(path);
var layoutSerializer = new DockSiteLayoutSerializer();

layoutSerializer.SerializationBehavior = DockSiteSerializationBehavior.ToolWindowsOnly;

layoutSerializer.LoadFromString(xml, dockSite);

Everything works but the Serializer does set the DataContext.

Is there a way to load the layout without affecting ToolWindow(s) DataContext?

Hello,

I don't believe we set the ToolWindow.DataContext property ourselves.  Any changes you see might just be inheriting down the visual tree when the ToolWindow gets added to the visual tree.  I would recommend explicitly setting the DataContext of your ToolWindows to something instead of having it inherit down.  That would keep it fixed when there are layout changes and is a best practice for MVVM usage.
