ok, this error happens on export to excel from my radgrid. I got everything working fine in it and then they wanted me to put on a looker service with a pop-up panel. Since then it breaks, the export to excel, if I take out the code it works fine, i do not want it exported to excel.
it breaks on the follwoing line which is part of the radgri_ItemCreated
pce.BehaviorID = behaviorID

How can I get around this to export the grid without the control

added peices to grid

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:Image ID="imgLooker" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Images/ViewResources.gif" ImageAlign="Middle" BorderStyle="None" />

<asp:PopupControlExtender ID="popInfo" runat="server" PopupControlID="pnlPop" TargetControlID="imgLooker" DynamicContextKey='<% #Eval("intRecId") %>'

DynamicControlID="pnlpop" DynamicServiceMethod="HelloWorld" Position="bottom"></asp:PopupControlExtender>

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Protected Sub myRadGrid_ItemCreated(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles myRadGrid.ItemCreated

If TypeOf e.Item Is GridCommandItem Then

ScriptManager.GetCurrent(Page).RegisterPostBackControl(e.Item.FindControl("btnExport"))

End If

If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then

Dim pce As PopupControlExtender = TryCast(e.Item.FindControl("popInfo"), PopupControlExtender)

Dim behaviorID As String = "pce_" + e.Item.RowIndex.ToString

pce.BehaviorID = behaviorID

Dim img As Image = DirectCast(e.Item.FindControl("imgLooker"), Image)

Dim OnMouseOverScript As String = String.Format("$find('{0}').showPopup();", behaviorID)

Dim OnMouseOutScript As String = String.Format("$find('{0}').hidePopup();", behaviorID)

img.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", OnMouseOverScript)

img.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", OnMouseOutScript)

End If

End Sub

Hi Kevin,

Try this way:

Dim IsExport As Boolean = False

Protected Sub myRadGrid_ItemCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs) Handles myRadGrid.ItemCommand

If e.CommandName = "ExportToExcel" Then

IsExport = True

End If

End Sub

Protected Sub myRadGrid_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles myRadGrid.ItemCreated

If Not IsExport Then

'PUT YOUR CODE HERE

End If

End Sub
