Dynamically setting cell background color on PDF Export

[Chuck]

I have a RadGrid that I set the cell background colors dynamically based on cell value but none of this formatting carries over to PDF like it does in Excel export.

an someone point me to any sources I can use to program this?

Hello Chuck,

Please review the following article on the topic: Appearance, i.e.

bool isExport = false;
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    isExport = true;
    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();
}
protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem && isExport)
        e.Item.Style["background-color"] = "#888888";
}

In the cases, where Rebind won't be invoked you can apply the styles directly:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.Items)
        item.Style["background-color"] = "#888888";
    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();
}
