I want to be able to Export to Excel from a RadGrid. The RadGrids on various pages could have 1 detail table or multiple nested detail tables (detail tables inside detail tables.)



I want the user to be able to expand one or more records to view the detail tables and if they export to excel, export it exactly as they see it with paging ignored. There may be multiple expanded detail tables on the same level, or nested tables may be expanded.



Here's the HTML and VB.NET code behind of a fully independent sample page of how our grids are implemented. This has a fake datasource hard coded, we're using LINQ queries to a SQL database in the real website.



This was made in Visual Studio 2012.



Thanks for any help you can offer. We haven't found any help online that has worked.

What we want is for one or more of the records in the master (top level) RadGrid to be expanded to display the detail table and then that view, exactly as you see it, to be exportable to Excel.

<br /><br />

Below is a simplified example to illustrate our setup. The solution will also need to work if there are multiple detail tables nested (meaning the detail table has it's own detail table).

Please post a response in the forum thread.
