LoadSettingsFromFile Method

Summary

Loads some or all of the convert object settings from a file.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public virtual void LoadSettingsFromFile( 
   string sourceFile, 
   ConvertSettings flags 
)

public: 
virtual void LoadSettingsFromFile(  
   String^ sourceFile, 
   ConvertSettings flags 
)

Parameters

sourceFile
The file from which settings will be loaded.

flags
The setting flags specifying which settings to load. See the ConvertSettings enumeration for the setting options.

Remarks

Loads some or all of the convert object settings from a file. This reconstructs the conversion configuration using the settings found in the file. The convert object settings can be saved to a file by calling the SaveSettingsToFile method. Settings can be saved to a stream by calling the SaveSettingsToStream method. Settings saved to a stream can be loaded using the LoadSettingsFromStream method. It may be helpful to call the CanSaveObjectSettings method before calling the save methods. This ensures the settings can be saved. If either SaveSettingsToFile or SaveSettingsToStream is called for settings that cannot be saved, the save method will fail.
