Custom ColumnDelimiter doesn't work for header/footer using GridViewCsvExportOptions

[Anders]

Hi

I need to overwrite the system set culture separator when exporting data from a RadGridView (Silverlight Q1 2010 SP2), and tried using the following code:

using (Stream stream = dialog.OpenFile())
{
    gridView.Export(stream,
      new GridViewCsvExportOptions
      {
          Format = ExportFormat.Csv,
          UseSystemCultureSeparator = false,
          ColumnDelimiter = ";",
          ShowColumnHeaders = true,
          ShowColumnFooters = true,
          ShowGroupFooters = true
      });
}

The resulting CSV file still has a regular comma as delimiter in the header and footer (but body looks ok):

"TimeStamp","MyColumn1","MyColumn2","MyColumn3"
"10.05.2010 01:00:00";"10,7751265";"3,18367815";"66,6837845"
"10.05.2010 00:00:00";"107,876794234912";"15,4229010277885";"52,9556193073591"
"","","",""

Is this a known bug? Will it be fixed in Q2 release?

Many thanks,
Anders Austad

Hi Anders,

 Yes, this is a known issue and a fix has already been incorporated for Q2.

By the way, you don't need to specify ExportFormat with GridViewCsvExportOptions. It's hard-coded to CSV.
