Saving WPF Button Properties using BinaryWriter

Question

Is it possible to do? I am having trouble with finding a way of saving WPF Button's properties using BinaryWriter for a text-based game. The thing is I need it to save button's button1.Content, button1.Click and button1.ToolTip so I can load it back using BinaryReader.

Answer 1

You can save entire Button, which will be persisted with all its properties.

And you can then de-serialize it back. We can the services provided by using System.Windows.Markup namespace.

1. Serialize Button with name Btn

   string btnData = XamlWriter.Save(Btn);

2. Deserialize it back

   Button btn = (Button) XamlReader.Parse(btnData);
