Very nice. Didn't know this was possible, this code will surely help me with a project I have.

I just tested the VI but I notice that it doesn't work ;( It goes bad when the loaded xml string needs to be flattend by the "xml flatten vi" it says

     Error 1106 occured at Unflatten From XML in Save or Read Control Values To and From a file.vi

     Possible reason(s): LabVIEW: The XML tag describing the type of data does not match the wired type.

You know a solution?

Looks like there is a bug in LabVIEW 2009 that does not allow Variants to faletten to XML. I modified the code to make it work. Try the new download. Not as clean, but does the trick.

Pity... because the xml was pretty readable now it isn't anymore because you don't know what value the data represents.

Good Idea but I had to change the scheme slightly to get it to work in 8.6.1.
