Change image to text on export

[Fabio]

Hello,

I would like to know the smallest way to change an image to text when exporting to excel.

My column is of type GridTemplateColumn with a literal object carrying the image, as in the example below, inside an ItemDataBound.

  If CBool(e.Item.DataItem("Read")) = True Then
                 litStatus.Text = "<i Class=""fa fa-envelope-open-o fa-2x"" title=""Read""></i>"
             Else
                 litStatus.Text = "<i Class=""fa fa-envelope-o fa-2x"" title=""Unread""></i>"
             End If

Thank you very much in advance

Another possibility would be to have two literal objects, one with the image path and the other with the text, if it were in the Grid presentation it would present the image literal and if it were to export to excel it would present the literal text, using the visible status, But I couldn't do that either.

Hi Fabio,

The Export Template Columns article shows how to replace the cell content with Text. 

In case you need to reference the Controls in the cells so that you can access the Control properties, the Accessing Controls in RadGrid article provides details along with various examples that you can try.

I can give you a more specific example, but for that, I need to see the entire implementation of the Grid.
