    SaveAsFile Method (Layout)
    In This Topic
    Exports a layout to a new layout (.pagx) file. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
    Syntax
    public void SaveAsFile( 
       string fullPathToPagXFile,
       bool overwrite
    )
    Public Sub SaveAsFile( _
       ByVal fullPathToPagXFile As String, _
       ByVal overwrite As Boolean _
    ) 

    Parameters

    fullPathToPagXFile
    A string representing the full path of the output file.
    overwrite
    Set to true to overwrite the mapx file if it already exists
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    value fullPathToPagXFile cannot be null
    This method must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
    Remarks
    A copy of the layout's definition is saved to file. A layout file can be imported into another project using the ItemFactory Class. A suffix of .pagx is added if the filename does not have one or has a different suffix. To overwrite an existing file of the same name, set overwrite = true.
    Example
    Layout_SaveAsFile
    //Save a layout to a pagx file.
    
    //Perform on the worker thread
    await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
    {
      layout.SaveAsFile(filePath, true);
    });
