Using file paths sourced from untrusted input may expose unauthorized files or allow unintended file access. Always validate and normalize all external paths to prevent path manipulation.
Restores the collapsed state of field values from the specified file.

A String value that specifies the path to the file from which the collapsed state of field values is read. If the specified file does not exist, an exception is raised.

Use the LoadCollapsedStateFromFile method to load the collapsed state of field values that has been written to a file via the PivotGridControl.SaveCollapsedStateToFile method.
The collapsed states of field values can only be restored in the same layout they were saved in. If the control layout was changed after saving the collapsed states (for instance, some fields have been reordered or hidden), the LoadCollapsedStateFromFile method may have no effect, or may restore the collapsed states incorrectly. To ensure that the collapsed states are loaded correctly, prevent end-users from changing the control layout (use the PivotGridOptionsCustomization.AllowDrag and PivotGridOptionsCustomization.AllowHideFields properties), or save and load the field values’ collapsed states together with the control layout (use the PivotGridControl.SaveLayoutToXml and PivotGridControl.RestoreLayoutFromXml methods).
Note
The LoadCollapsedStateFromFile method has no effect if used when data is not loaded (i.e. the PivotGridControl.DataSource property is not initialized).
Note
The collapsed states for server mode and regular data sources are stored in different formats and not compatible with each other. Some issues can appear on restoring the collapsed state from different data source modes.
This example demonstrates how to restore the Pivot Grid layout and row/column state.
The Save button uses the PivotGridControl.SaveLayoutToStream and PivotGridControl.SaveCollapsedStateToStream methods to save the layout and field values’ collapsed state to memory streams.
The Load button uses the PivotGridControl.RestoreLayoutFromStream and PivotGridControl.LoadCollapsedStateFromStream methods to restore the saved layout and column/row state.
The Clear button clears the field collection.
