Export RadGrid to PDF with CSS

[Ed]

Hi,
I am trying to export RadGrid to PDF or Excel with CSS, I looked at the sampe at:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/generalfeatures/pdfexport/defaultcs.aspx
and have the following questions:
(1) What ever css I apply to the grid for rendering will not apply for exporting, right?
(2) Can I use css class for exporting styles? The sample seems to use inline styling only
(3) Will the same styles for exporting pdf work with exporting for Excel?

Thanks

Hello Ed,

Straight onto your questions:

1) Inline styles will be applied in all cases (except for CSV of course). HTML formats (Word and Excel) supports CSS classes, but you must ensure that the corresponding classes are added to the exported file.

2) PDF format does not support classes because it is not HTML-based.

3) As mentioned above, inline styles are best choice if you want to reuse the code for all formats.
