Hi Satya,

I would suggest you to use CommandItemTemplate for this purpose. You may include these details as a part of its content and set ExportSettings -> ExportOnlyData = false in the export button's click event. You can also refer the following help article which explains more about this. Go through the portion titled 'Including additional information as part of the exported document'.

Hi Princy,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I tried with it and   set CommandItemDisplay="Top" NOw i could able to set the my owned data as starting of the page followed by Grid.

NOw i want to include some additional information (copyright and other information at down).

How to include two commandItemTemplates which should be placed one at top and other at down?

Hello Satya,

You can display different controls inside the top/bottom command item by choosing the CommandItemDisplay="TopAndBottom" option. and thereby switching the visibility of the controls on ItemCreated. Thus, the required header and footer additional information can be exported using grid. Check out hte following code to understand how to get this done.
aspx:

 <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowPaging="true"  PageSize="10" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" onitemcreated="RadGrid1_ItemCreated">
      <MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="TopAndBottom" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
           <CommandItemTemplate>
             <asp:Panel ID="panel1" runat="server">
             [Additional Information part1]
             </asp:Panel>
             <asp:Panel ID="panel2" runat="server">
             [Additional Information part2]
             </asp:Panel>
           </CommandItemTemplate>
                ......

c#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridCommandItem)
        {
            GridCommandItem commandItem = (GridCommandItem)e.Item;
            if (commandItem.NamingContainer is GridTHead)
            {
                commandItem.FindControl("panel2").Visible = false;
            }
            else if (commandItem.NamingContainer is GridTFoot)
            {
                commandItem.FindControl("panel1").Visible = false;
            }
        }
    }

Thanks
