Hi
I am having a strange problem with some users... I feel sure the fix is simple but
I haven't cracked it yet..
The filename that is on the tab of the exported worksheet, when I download it
myself, is 'WinelistExport.xls' as expected, but some users see it as
'%57%69%6e' etc etc. I realise that this is in fact the urlEncoded version of the same filename.
It must depend on some computer depend setting. How can I get round this and make sure
it shows the worksheet tab normally?
Thanks
Clive.

Hello Clive,
At this point, RadGrid (purposely) encodes the file name to allow the usage of Unicode characters in Internet Explorer. Unfortunately we must remove this functionality for Internet Explorer 6 and 7 because of their noncompliance to the standards.
Fix for this issue will be included in the next release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. The expected release date is around the midst of December.

Hello Princy,
I'm afraid the problem was solved only partially. We will remove the encoding when the browser is Internet Explorer 6 or 7 and the user will have the option to encode/escape the name manually when needed (as in the code-snippet posted in the first link).

Microsoft does not comply with standards?!? Say it isn't so!!
I upgraded my version to 2009_3_1016 and the URL encoded filenames disappeared.
Cheers!

Hello Mark,
We spent a lot of time testing the behavior of the most common browsers and we decided not to touch the filename when the browser is IE6 or IE7. Of course if someone wants to use non-US characters he/she can manually encode the filename when exporting.
Some useful reading for IE below:
