Save

Introduction

Warning

We recommend that you use either ListViewContentXML or ListViewContentJson instead of our custom system which is old and outdated.

a. Required configuration

To use the following methods, you need to use the version 1.7 or higher of LeoCorpLibrary, and put this at the top of your code file:

C#

using LeoCorpLibrary;

VB

Imports LeoCorpLibrary

b. How it works

Here's how the Save system works:

1. The system is going to separate the elements with a separator which is by default (*E*).
2. The system is going to separate the elements' columns with a separator which is by default (*C*)
3. The system save this content in a specified file.

Here's an example of a file:

Test1(*C*)Test2(*C*)Test3(*E*)Test4(*C*)Test5(*C*)Test6(*E*)Test7(*C*)Test7(*C*)Test8(*E*)

Note

You can save the file in any formats, even custom ones: The system doesn't care.
