Choose export type before generating report

[Francisco]

Hi,

I have an issue. I would need to be able to select the type of export before generating the report. I use C# in visual studio 2008 and I am programming a desktop application. 
This means I have to select the export type and the path in a previous panel and then I have to press "generate" button in that panel. Telerik reporting would inherit these parameters and would generate the report by itself without pressing the button export in the reporting viewing. 
I found this thread  LINK, but it is dated in May 2011.
It is practically my same concern. After almost 2 years, is it already supported?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Francisco,

Check out Exporting Report Programmatically help article. The article is up to date and elaborates on the topic.

Hi Peter,

I'm using Telerik report version #11.1.17.627. I want to get the value of the export menu item when user select to export to pdf or excel from the ReportViewer. How can I do that in the code behind?

Thanks,

Thao

Hello Thao,

There is no direct approach to get the name of the rendering extension when exporting programmatically. A solution can be to create a custom UI that will trigger the export.
