Exporting GridView with columns created in code.

[Alan]

Hello,

I have a problem with exporting RadGridView using ToCsv() andToExcelML() methods.

While using AutoGenerateColumns property set to true everything works fine. 

However, when I'm trying to create columns in code in such a way:

Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewDataColumn c1 = new Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewDataColumn();

c1.Header = "Name";

c1.CellTemplate = (DataTemplate)this.Resources["NameColumnTemplate"];

radGridView.Columns.Add(c1);

with DataTemplate defined in XAML:

<DataTemplate x:Key="NameColumnTemplate">

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}"/>

</DataTemplate>

In this case everything looks fine and RadGridView displays columns properly, but ToCsv() methods creates a string consist only of white spaces.

Is there any solution to this problem?

Regards

Hi Alan,

You can set DataMemberBinding for the column to resolve this:
...
c1.DataMemberBinding = new Binding("Name");
...
