Problem using GroupByExpressions

[Babu Puchakayala]

Hi,

I have empty spaces on my column names. When I am trying to do groupby I am getting error. Is there any way that i can groupby column names even if i have spaces in column names. I cant change the column names in sql server. I am calling storeproc so i cant even change the query in program. And I am not using mastertableview. I am directly binding the columns to the radgrid.

Please let me know if there is any solution. Here is My radgrid.

<telerik:RadGrid ID="gvTrackers" Height="550px" runat="server" CallbackMode="true"
            Serialize="true" FolderStyle="styles/style_11" AllowPaging="true" AllowSorting="True"
            GridLines="None" AutoGenerateColumns="true" ShowGroupPanel="True" EnableHeaderContextMenu="true"
            EnableHeaderContextFilterMenu="true" AllowMultiRowSelection="true" AllowFilteringByColumn="True"
            OnNeedDataSource="gvTrackers_NeedDataSource" OnItemCreated="gvTrackers_ItemCreated"
            OnExcelMLExportStylesCreated="gvTrackers_ExcelMLExportStylesCreated" OnExcelMLExportRowCreated="gvTrackers_ExcelMLExportRowCreated"
            OnItemCommand="gvTrackers_ItemCommand">
            <HeaderStyle Height="80px" BackColor="#004000" Font-Size="8pt" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White"
                HorizontalAlign="Center" BorderColor="White" BorderWidth="0px" />
            <ExportSettings IgnorePaging="true" ExportOnlyData="true">
            <Pdf AllowModify="false" AllowPrinting="true" PageWidth="16in" />
            </ExportSettings>
            <MasterTableView AllowMultiColumnSorting="true" CommandItemDisplay="Top">
                <CommandItemSettings ShowExportToWordButton="true" ShowExportToExcelButton="true"
                    ShowExportToCsvButton="true" ShowExportToPdfButton="true" ShowAddNewRecordButton="false" />
            </MasterTableView>
            <ClientSettings ReorderColumnsOnClient="True" AllowDragToGroup="True" AllowColumnsReorder="True">
                <Scrolling AllowScroll="true" UseStaticHeaders="true" />
                <Selecting AllowRowSelect="True"></Selecting>
                <Resizing AllowRowResize="True" AllowColumnResize="True" EnableRealTimeResize="True"
                    ResizeGridOnColumnResize="False"></Resizing>
            </ClientSettings>
            <GroupingSettings ShowUnGroupButton="true" />
            <PagerStyle Mode="NextPrevAndNumeric" HorizontalAlign="Right" Font-Bold="true" AlwaysVisible="true" />
        </telerik:RadGrid>

One more question. Is there anyway that i can get print option to the radgrid. Like if press print button it should the all columns from the radgrid directly without exporting to any format file. Is there any option in radgrid.

Thanks
Babu

Hello Babu,

RadGrid grouping works only with unique column names without space. Please check out the following Forum link which discusses the same issue.
Why can't I group by fields with a space in the field name? .

And refer the following Code Library which demonstrates how to print the whole RadGrid contents.
Print RadGrid contents

Princy.

Hi Princy,

Thanks for your answer. Printing option is working exactly how i want. Thanks Telerik Team. But I am unable to open the link "Why can't I group by fields with a space in the field name? ."

Hi Princy,

When i am printing the grid. Its not printing the all rows. And one more can i remove the gridoutlines, paging and filtering images? If yes how to do it? (Instead of window printing is there any grid printing?)
