export a single record to a pdf file or excel file

[areen]

hi,

i need to export a single records detail to either a pdf file or an excel file.

i'm using the radgrid control and have used the edit form template to display detail information for a single record. i'd like to put the export button here and export only this record's data.

how can this be done?

thanks,
areen

Hello Areen,

One option is you can hide all the rows in grid and export only the edit form like below.

ASPX:

<EditFormSettings EditFormType="Template">
    <FormTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("EmployeeID") %>'></asp:Label>
        <br />
        <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("FirstName") %>'></asp:Label>
        <br />
        <asp:Button ID="ExportButton" runat="server" CommandName="ExportToExcel" Text="Export" />
    </FormTemplate>
</EditFormSettings>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)

   {

       if (e.CommandName == "ExportToExcel")

       {

           Button btn = (Button)e.CommandSource;

           btn.Visible = false;//hide Export button


           foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.Items)

           {

                item.Visible = false;

           }

       }

   }
