To load layout programmatically in Server-Side

1. Drag WebPaneManager control to the WebForm.
2. Create xml file that contains layout structure of the panes.

   <WebGroupPane GroupType="VerticalTile" Name="RootGroup">
     <Panes>
       <WebPane WidthValue="30%" ContentScrollable="False" Text="Mail" Width="Custom" AllowCollapse="Yes" Name="paneMail">
         <ContentPadding />
       </WebPane>
       <WebGroupPane Text="GroupPane 0" Name="GroupPane0">
         <Panes>
           <WebPane Visible="False" HeaderVisible="No" HeightValue="30px" AllowResize="No" Height="Custom" AllowCollapse="No" Name="paneFind">
             <ContentPadding Top="0px" Left="0px" Bottom="0px" Right="0px" />
           </WebPane>
           <WebPane CaptionDisplayMode="TextAndImage" ContentMode="UseIFrame" Text="Messages" AllowCollapse="Yes" Image="../Images/Inbox.gif" Name="paneMessages" HeaderAppearance="UseMainStyle" ContentURL="../Empty.aspx">
             <ContentPadding />
           </WebPane>
           <WebPane ContentMode="UseIFrame" Text="Message Details" Name="paneMessageDetail" HeaderAppearance="UseSubStyle">
             <ContentPadding />
           </WebPane>
         </Panes>
       </WebGroupPane>
     </Panes>
   </WebGroupPane>
   

3. Place the following code in Page_Load event to load the layout structure from xml file.

   C#	Copy Code
   protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { WebPaneManager1.LoadPanesStructureFromXml(Server.MapPath("../Structures/SampleWebPaneManager.xml")); }

   
   
4. Run the project and WebPaneManager will load the layout programmatically using the xml file.
