Syntax

C# Copy Code
protected virtual void SaveTo ( BinaryWriter writer, PersistContext context )

Visual Basic Copy Code
Protected Overridable Sub SaveTo( _ writer As BinaryWriter, _ context As PersistContext _ )

writer: A BinaryWriter object the item's data should be written to.
context: A PersistContext object providing contextual information about the serialization process and some helper serialization methods.

This method is invoked when an item is being serialized to a binary-format diagram file.

The following example shows how to implement this method in a derived class.

C# Copy Code
protected override void SaveTo(System.IO.BinaryWriter writer, PersistContext ctx) { base.SaveTo(writer, ctx); // Save the label using the standard .NET BinaryWriter writer.Write(label); // Save the image using the built-in image saving code, // which stores the contents of shared images only once. ctx.SaveImage(icon); }

Visual Basic Copy Code
Protected Overrides Sub SaveTo(ByVal writer As System.IO.BinaryWriter, ByVal ctx As PersistContext) MyBase.SaveTo(writer, ctx) ' Save the label using the standard .NET BinaryWriter writer.Write(title) ' Save the image using the built-in image saving code, ' which stores the contents of shared images only once. ctx.SaveImage(imgIcon) End Sub
