[Solved] Extract Sort, Group and FilterDescriptor as string expression

[Stefan Buys]

Hi,

I have a requirement to extract a RadGridView's Sort, Group and FilterDescriptor as a string expression. It needs to be displayed in the header of the file when the user exports the data to Excel/Word. In the good old days of ADO.NET, one could use the RowFilter property of the DataView.

Is there such a property available? If not, does anyone know of a parser?

Thanks,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

 You can use the approach I've used in this blog post:

Please check DescriptorsExtensions.cs for more info.
