Improving performance of DockSiteLayoutSerializer - Docking/MDI for WPF Forum

Posted 14 years ago by Craig - Varigence, Inc.

Version: 9.2.0510

I've been examining the startup performance of an app that uses the DockSiteLayoutSerializer, and the LoadFromString function is showing up as a hot spot. We call the function in our Window_Loaded event handler so all ToolWindows are layed out properly, prior to the window being rendered.

I'm just wondering if LoadFromString is known to be slow, and if there's anything I can do to improve its performance.

Thanks,

-Craig

Hi Craig,

The layout serializer code uses XML serializers, so for first time it loads it could have a brief delay while the Microsoft code for XML serializers creates the classes needed to initialize the functionality. However after that first time, it should run fast.
