Hi there,

I have gone through almost all the posts in the forum, however, none of them has helped me :(

I have got a Grid which contains a nested view template object and that consists of a grid as follow:

<telerik:RadGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" ID="RadGrid1" AllowFilteringByColumn="True" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" runat="server" OnItemCommand="RadGrid1_ItemCommand" OnItemCreated="RadGrid1_ItemCreated" EnableLinqExpressions="true" HtmlEncode="true" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource" GroupByExpression="JobStatusID Group By JobStatusID"

</NestedViewTemplate>

</MasterTableView>

<ClientSettings AllowDragToGroup="true">

<Scrolling AllowScroll="True" UseStaticHeaders="True" />

</ClientSettings>

</telerik:RadGrid>

My approach is to export the grid into an excel or a pdf file with the following code:

protected void btnGeneralReportPDF_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)

{

//RadGrid1.ExportSettings.ExportOnlyData = true;

RadGrid1.ExportSettings.OpenInNewWindow = true;

//RadGrid1.ExportSettings.IgnorePaging = true;

headerMiddleCell = headerMiddleCell.Replace("<$companyname$>", "company name");

headerMiddleCell = headerMiddleCell.Replace("<$reportname$>", "Report");

headerMiddleCell = headerMiddleCell.Replace("<$daterange$>", "1-1-2015 / 2-2-2015");

RadGrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageHeader.MiddleCell.Text = headerMiddleCell;

// to get lanscape orientation

RadGrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageHeight = Unit.Parse("162mm");

RadGrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageWidth = Unit.Parse("600mm");

foreach (GridDataItem gi in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)

{

gi.Expanded = true;

if (gi.HasChildItems)

{

RadGrid rgHeader = (RadGrid)gi.ChildItem.NestedViewCell.Controls[0].Controls[1].Controls[1];

rgHeader.Rebind();

}

}

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.HierarchyDefaultExpanded = true;

//RadGrid1.Rebind();

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();

}

The above code jumps into "JobStatusGrid_NeedDataSource" method in order to populate the nested data grid, however, it doesn't help me out to come up in the exported file.

Could you please advise me ?
Thank you

Hello Mehmet,

I examine the provided code and it seems correct. Nevertheless I prepared a small runnable sample based on your logic and on my side the nested grid is exported. Could you please give it a try and let me know how it differs from your real setup?

Hi Mehmet,

I have already answered your support ticket and I will post the answer here as well if other users have a similar issue as yours.

"The reason for that behavior is that you initially hide the Panel which wraps the inner grid and even you change its visibility after a rebind the panel will be hid as well.
A possible solution is to remove the panel or not hide it initially. Another possible solution is to check whether the item is expanded on ItemCreated and if it does to show the panel. Additionally you need to set RetainExpandStateOnRebind property of the MasterTableView that will prevent collapsing the item after the export."
