[Solved] Export "on-the-fly"-grid

[Tim Tos]

Hello!

I want to export data of a gridView using the Export method.
The gridView is not on the screen, it is generated shortly before calling Export(...) in the code-behind file.
Although I am setting the DataContext and the ItemsSource the result is always empty (only the headers of the gridView).

How is it possible to export a gridView that is not visible on the screen?
Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,
Tim.

Hi Tim Tos,

You may need to subscribe to the DataLoaded event of RadGridView  and inside the handler call the export method.

Another approach in your situation has a chance to do the trick as well - call the export method using Dispatcher.BeginInvoke ( .....


One of these should help ( depending on your specific scenario) .

Hi Pavel Pavlov,

thanks for your answer! Unfortunately both methods didn't lead to success.
The BeginInvoke is producing the same results and the DataLoaded event is not fired (don't know why - data is there).

Thanks again for your help!
Tim.
