I've been stuck picking through serialized DevExpress layouts by hand lately. One aspect of it that had me confused for a while was this notation that appears within serialized structs:
<property name="XtraSerializerScreenConfiguration" iskey="true" value="1"> <property name="Item1">@1,X=0@1,Y=0@4,Width=1920@4,Height=1080</property></property>
What's with the @?
Similar notation is used for FloatSize, FloatLocation, OriginalSize, XtraBounds.
It turns out the format is simply this:
- each @ starts a new field in the struct
- the per-field format is: @{0},{1}={2}
- where {1} and {2} are naturally the field name and value respectively.
- and the cryptic {0} is the number of characters required for the value {2}.
There you go.
