Grid export columns only contain System.Data.DataRowView

[Lynn]

I have a grid that works fine otherwise, but when I export it (regardless of Excel, CSV, PDF, etc.) their are two issues:

(1) The first issue is that hypercolumns are shown as blank in the exported file even the programmatic definition is "exportable = false";
(2) All of the columns that contain boundcolumn's only contain the value "System.Data.DataRowView" text instead of the values from the grid (
which display correctly).

I have read other forum entries that discuss this textual value, but they pretty much have to do with data column names not matching the grid column names -- and that is not the case.

I have attached:
(1) a screen capture of the displayed grid with one of the export files superimposed showing the results.  Please remember that is does NOT matter which export file format I select.
(2) the .aspx display file source that I can distribute;
(3) the master file source that I can distribute; and,
(4) the code behind file source code that I can distribute.

Any help anyone can provide would be most appreciated!

Hi Lynn,

I have examined the provided code and noticed that the RadGrid is defined in the markup and its columns are generated in the Page_Init event. Also the RadGrid is created only on when the page is initially loaded.

When you are creating the RadGrid structure programmatically you need to follow one of the approaches described in this article.

If you would like to keep the RadGrid declared in the markup, then use Page_Load to define its structure like illustrated in the Dynamically Defining the Structure of a Statically-declared Grid section of the article above.

In case you would like to use Page_Init to create the RadGrid you need to recreate the structure on every page initialization. The approach is described in the Creating a RadGrid on Page_Init section.

Try using one of the approaches above and you should be able to achieve the functionality you are looking for.
