Hi !

I use this code to save my node:

	  protected override void SaveToXml(System.Xml.XmlElement xmlElement, XmlPersistContext context)
	  {
		base.SaveToXml(xmlElement, context);

		context.WriteString(this.headText, "HeadText", xmlElement);
		context.WriteString(this.hintText, "HintText", xmlElement);
		context.WriteImage(this.icon, "Icon", xmlElement);
	  } 

And this to Load it back:

	  protected override void LoadFromXml(System.Xml.XmlElement xmlElement, XmlPersistContext context)
	  {
		base.LoadFromXml(xmlElement, context);

		this.HeadText = context.ReadString("HeadText", xmlElement);
		this.HintText = context.ReadString("HintText", xmlElement);
		this.Icon = context.ReadImage("Icon", xmlElement);
	  } 

It works perfect for the strings but the Icon is only a black box  ???

Hi Stoyan,

I can´t see any stream involved in loading the icon.

I load the XML from a file with this code:

		diagram1.ClearAll();
		diagram1.LoadFromXml("test.xml");
		diagramView1.Refresh(); 

And LoadFromXml calls the MyNode.LoadFromXml at some point:

	  protected override void LoadFromXml(System.Xml.XmlElement xmlElement, XmlPersistContext context)
	  {
		base.LoadFromXml(xmlElement, context);

		this.HeadText = context.ReadString("HeadText", xmlElement);
		this.HintText = context.ReadString("HintText", xmlElement);
		this.maxInputs = (byte)context.ReadInt("maxInputs", xmlElement);
		this.maxOutputs = (byte)context.ReadInt("maxOutputs", xmlElement);
		this.Icon = context.ReadImage("Icon", xmlElement);
	  } 

Must I load the Image to a stream first?

Hi Stoyan,

I figured out that it is a problem of the created Icon from your IconNode demo.
When I use an icon from a file or resource all is fine.

So I think this problem is gone ... 

btw.
I first draw the Icon with graphics.DrawImage ...
But this methode scales the image. So I found graphics.DrawImageUnscaled.

But DrawImageUnscaled seems to use the Resolution of the image file. I had a file with 197DPI and so the Image gets streched.
Now I have an Image with 96DPI and all works as expected.
