Hello,

I have a GridViewComboBoxColumn in my grid:

                    <tGrid:GridViewComboBoxColumn HeaderText="Instrument"         
                                                          UniqueName="Instrument"         
                                                          DataMemberBinding="{Binding Instrument, Mode=TwoWay}"         
                                                          SelectedValueMemberPath="InstrumentId"         
                                                          DisplayMemberPath="Instrument"/>         

This works correctly, and I am able to save values to the underlying business object. However, the export functionality uses the number value of instrumentId when building it's export string. Is there any way that I can make it use the string value in the combobox when exporting?

Thanks!

Hello Barry,

You can change the binding just before exporting and restore it later:

                GridViewComboBoxColumn column = (GridViewComboBoxColumn) RadGridView1.Columns["Instrument"];
                var binding = column.DataMemberBinding;
                column.DataMemberBinding = new Binding("YourProperty");

              // export goes here

                column.DataMemberBinding = binding;
