Hi
I am exporting a radgrid to pdf and setting the background colour of alternate lines as light grey, font and font size for cells and footer in the item created event, and all is working as it should.
However I would like to change the text color or background color of a column based on the value of another column but I am not sure in which event I should do this while exporting to pdf. I tried the RadGrid1_ItemDataBound event but it has no effect on the pdf output.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks

When exporting, the ItemDataBound event handler will be raised only when IgnorePaging exporting property is enabled. Otherwise, you can try using PreRender and traverse the RadGrid1.Items collection to achieve this requirement.
Further info about PDF exporting events you can find here:

I hope this will prove helpful.

Hi Eyup
Thanks for this!
The itemdatabound event handler approach worked out fine for conditional formatting of an item.
I subsequently had trouble hiding the column that i was using the value of to determine the text color of the ID column. When I tried to hide the column programmatically the text of the relevant ID items was no longer red.
However in the pdf exporting link you sent (above) I saw the new declarative 'Exportable="false"' setting for hiding columns in the generated pdf, and this did the job!
Thanks a lot

Another thing which you can help you when implementing custom exporting logic with RadGrid is the IsExporting property, which was recently introduced replace the necessity of using a global variable in the code-behind:
