Hi,

I have designed a multicolumn RADGrid which displays labels. However, when I export it to PDF, it displays only in single column.
Here is the code snippet for your reference--

<telerik:RadGrid ID="grdReport" runat="server" AllowSorting="True" GridLines="None"

AllowPaging="True" Font-Names="Arial" Font-Size="10pt" Skin="Outlook"

AllowFilteringByColumn="true" PageSize="30" ShowHeader="false" EnableViewState="true"

OnPreRender="grdReport_PreRender" OnNeedDataSource="grdReport_NeedDataSource"

OnItemCommand="grdReport_ItemCommand" OnItemCreated="grdReport_ItemCreated">

<ExportSettings IgnorePaging="True" OpenInNewWindow="True">

<Pdf PageWidth="210mm" PageHeight="297mm" Author="VoltTrack" Creator="VoltTrack"

Producer="VoltTrack" PageLeftMargin="0.5in" PageRightMargin="0.5in" />

</ExportSettings>

<PagerStyle Position="Top"/>

<MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top" EnableViewState="true" TableLayout="Fixed">

<PagerStyle Mode="NextPrevNumericAndAdvanced" />

<CommandItemSettings ShowExportToPdfButton="True" ShowAddNewRecordButton="False" />

<ItemTemplate>

<%# (((GridItem)Container).ItemIndex != 0)? "</td></tr></table>" : "" %>

<asp:Panel ID="ItemContainer" CssClass='<%# (((GridItem)Container).ItemType == GridItemType.Item)? "item" : "alternatingItem" %>'

runat="server">

<b><%# Eval("C_Name")%></b>

<br />

SSN:

<b><%# Eval("SSN")%></b>

W/E:

<b><%# Eval("Weekend_Date")%></b>

<br />

Branch:

<b><%# Eval("Branch")%></b>

Job#:

<b><%# Eval("Job_Number")%></b>

<br />

<b><%# Eval("Cust_Name")%></b>

</asp:Panel>

</ItemTemplate>

</MasterTableView>

<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />

<ClientSettings AllowColumnsReorder="True" ReorderColumnsOnClient="True">

<Scrolling EnableVirtualScrollPaging="True" />

</ClientSettings>

</telerik:RadGrid>

protected void grdReport_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

int itemCount = (sender as RadGrid).MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.Item).Length + (sender as RadGrid).MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.AlternatingItem).Length;

foreach (GridItem item in (sender as RadGrid).Items)

{

if (item is GridDataItem && item.ItemIndex < itemCount - 1)

{

((item as GridDataItem)["C_Name"] as TableCell).Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<table style='display:none;width: 730px'><colgroup><col /><col /><col /></colgroup><tr><td>"));

}

Can you please help?

Hello Krunal,

I added 30 records but still I see only one column. Could you please modify the attached project to help me reproduce the issue? Thanks.

Hi Danial,

Please add the style in Default.aspx page and check it whether you are able to replicate the issue. Let me know how can I export the same format to PDF.

<style type="text/css">

.item, .alternatingItem

{

float: left;

padding: 10px;

margin: 5px;

width: 200px;

height: 70px;

border: 1px solid threedshadow;

text-align: left;

}

.item

{

background: whitesmoke !important;

}

.alternatingItem

{

background: window !important;

}

.item:hover, .alternatingItem:hover

{

background: silver !important;

}

</style>

Regards,
Krunal
