[Solved] Export with custom header

[Christian]

I have a grid with columns with a custom header to allow wrapping.  But when I export to html, it prints the header type like this :

Département

Classe

System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock

Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.AlignmentContentPresenter

Here's the grid : (didn't put the column with an AligmentContentPresenter)

        <telerik:RadGridView Grid.Row="1" x:Name="gridView" CanUserFreezeColumns="true" CanUserInsertRows="False"
                                 RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed"
                                EnableColumnVirtualization="False"
                             CanUserReorderColumns="False"
                                FrozenColumnCount="2"
                                AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                              EditTriggers="CellClick"
                             >
            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Department.Description}"
                                            Header="Département"
                                            IsReadOnly="True"
                                            />
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Class.Description}"
                                            Header="Classe"
                                            IsReadOnly="True"
                                            >
                </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding GraduatedDate}"
                                            Width="87"
                                            IsReadOnly="True"
                                            >
                    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                        <TextBlock
                            TextWrapping="Wrap"
                            Text="Graduation Date"/>
                    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
            </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        </telerik:RadGridView>

Is this a bug or is there something else I need to do ?

Hello,

You can handle this scenario easily using Exporting event. Just cast e.Value to TextBlock and get the Text property:

        private void RadGridView1_Exporting(object sender, GridViewExportEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Value is TextBlock)
            {
                e.Value = ((TextBlock) e.Value).Text;
            }
        }

Best wishes,
