Alter behavior for export toolbar button?

[Chris]

We'd like to replace the default functionality for the Excel export button on the HTML report viewer.  We'd like to write a custom method for each report that will export the underlying data to spreadsheet in a format that is conducive to sorting, totalling, etc. via Excel.  We don't need to export the headings, totals, etc.

Can we override the default behavior?

Hi Chris,

Telerik Reporting is extensible and if required you can implement a custom Custom rendering extension. Just implement accordingly the IRenderingExtension interface. For an example you can use our Excel rendering extension source code. That is available for download from your account download page.

You can register your rendering extension in the report viewer with the following configuration:

<Telerik.Reporting>
  <Extensions>
    <Render>
      <Extension name="MyExcel" description="My Excel export" type="MyNamespace.MyClass, MyAssembly"/>
    </Render>
  </Extensions>
</Telerik.Reporting>

For more information please check the Rendering Extensions help article.

Hello,

I have the exact same need as Chris does.   May I please get a copy of the Excel rendering extension source code, too?

Hi Steven,

You can also download Telerik Reporting source code after logging into your account and navigating to Products & Subscriptions - DevCraft - Download - Reporting - Browse all product files - Source Code.
