[Solved] Export Dynamic Grid?

[Eric]

I am creating one or more grids dynamically (I call a stored procedure and create one grid for each recordset returned) and I don't manage to get the Grid Export functionality to work (either client or server side).

Is it supposed to work to export a grid control created dynamically?


Thanks

Eric

Hello Eric,

It depends on the export format and the way you bind RadGrid. If you use NeedDataSource you shouldn't have any problems in such scenarios. However if you use ExcelML format and simple data binding or any other format combined with IgnorePaging, your output file will be empty because RadGrid will rebind itself.

OK, I understand for the Server side but what about the Export on the client side?

I was assuming that one would simply use the data available on the client. Is that wrong?

Hello Eric,

I'm afraid exporting with client-side binding is not supported.

Let me know if you need more information.

Daniel,


Thanks for your explanations.

I have finally settled for server side export and my end-users are (quite rightly) extremely pleased!


Many Thanks


Eric
