AvalonDock and XamlWriter.Save: stack overflow exception

[xceedsoftware]

Hi all, I tried to save my dock manager and document pane (empty, without other wpf objects) to xaml string but I had no success, I got always stack overflow exception. Why? Is there a reference in layoutdocument object to its parent? Does exist a way to got it?

Thanks in advance, Fabio

/xcad:DockingManager

in code behind XamlWriter.Save(dockManager.DocumentPane) raises StackOverflow exception.

Thanks.

Hi,

Can you submit a sample so that we can test the exact same scenario ? Thanks.
