I'm having an issue when exporting the contents of a RadGrid control to excel using the RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToExcel() method. The output is not UTF8 encoded, and in some scenarios, the  character is displayed before the next character. This happens for characters like the non-breaking space or degree character. I've spent some time looking through the documentation and object structure of the RadGrid control and I see no properties that I can set to force the output file to be UTF8 encoded. I'm currently running Version 2013.3.1114.35 and upgrading is NOT an option unfortunately.

Hello ,
I am afraid there isn't a property which can change the encoding but by default the output is UTF8 encoded. I prepared a small runnable sample with a different characters in it and as you can see they all are exported properly. Could you please give it a try and let me know how it differs from your real setup?

Thank you for your reply Kostadin.
There are some differences between my setup and your example though. My setup is using the Telerik.WebControls.RadGrid control and the export method I'm using is the one with 7 arguments. Your example is using the Telerik.Web.UI.RadGrid control. I'm not sure what differences there are between them, but I can see that your example is not having the issue that I'm having with special characters. Are there any fundamental differences between the two different RadGrid controls that would require any type of changes between the two export methods?
Thanks

Hello ,
The difference between mine and yours RadGrid control is the version of RadControls that you are using. Keep in mind that Telerik.WebControls namespace was used in RadControls for ASP.NET while Telerik.Web.UI is used in RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. I would recommend you to upgrade to a newer verison of RadControl becase the one which you are using is no longer supported. You can check out the following help article that describe how to migrate from RadGrid for ASP.NET to ASP.NET AJAX.
