Custom Exporting Radgrid content to pdf

[Jay]

Hi,

I Need to export the radgrid content to pdf on button click and need to send that pdf as an attachment in mail.

 The button is placed outside the grid. i used the following code but it prompts "Do you want to open or save?".
RadGrid1.GridExporting += new OnGridExportingEventHandler(RadGrid1_GridExporting);
            RadGrid1.ExportSettings.FileName = FileName;
           
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();

 

For my requirement i need to export the content to pdf and send as attachment.

 Can any one please help me inorder to achieve the same.

 

 

Thanks in Advance
Jai

Hi Jai,

You could use the following code snippet to export RadGrid to the server and send it as an attachment to an email.

protected void RadGrid1_GridExporting(object sender, GridExportingArgs e)
{
    using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(String.Format("{0}.{1}", PhysicalPathToFile, RadComboBox1.SelectedValue), FileMode.Create))
    {
        byte[] output = Encoding.GetEncoding(WesternEuropean).GetBytes(e.ExportOutput);
        fs.Write(output, 0, output.Length);
    }

    Response.Redirect(Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Path).ToString());
}

You could examine the following sample which demonstrates how to achieve that.
