RadGrid Export

[Miguel]

I have a Radgrid with almost 7000 items. So when i click on the export to excel button, it takes quite some time before the file is created and the download message appears.

So i thought on making an loading screen. I've used ajax loading panel. The problem i have is that when i click the export button it triggers the loading panel, but after the download message appears, it stay's "on".... I think it's because the update control (the grid) isn't been updated....

I've search and search, but i can't seem to find a work around this or even an other way to achieve this.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Now i do have another issue. Now instead of popping-up the download message, it just pastes the content on the grid....

Hello Miguel,

Try setting the following.
aspx:

<ExportSettings ExportOnlyData="true" OpenInNewWindow="true" IgnorePaging="true" Excel-Format="Html">
</ExportSettings>
