GridView Export

[Shril]

Is there a roadmap for improving the exporting features of this grid? If so can you please point me to it? Im curious as to what to expect from future release in regards to exporting which is one of our most important end user requirements.

Hi,

 Our idea is to provide much more powerful exporting using Telerik.Windows.Documents. You can check for example this demo. This is the Silverlight version however the WPF example is exactly the same. We will do our best to add native Excel (xlsx) support later this year however we cannot commit any specific version. 

All the best,

Excel is our primary exporting format since most of our users are financial workers. What export formats does RadDocument support besides PDF?

[Vesko]

Hi Shril,

Thanks for your question!

RadDocument currently supports the following document formats for import/export:

XAML - to import/export XAML formats you have to use the XamlFormatProvider class.

DOCX - to import/export DOCX documents you have to use the DocxFormatProvider class.

RTF - to import/export RTF documents you have to use the RtfFormatProvider class.

HTML - to import/export HTML formats you have to use the HtmlFormatProvider class.

PDF - to export PDF formats you have to use the PdfFormatProvider class.

Hello,

I am researching Telerik WPF Grid and one of the critical features we need is exporting. I am little bit confused.

This topic http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/gridview-export.html says we can export to Csv, Html and Excel. However, your posts indicate there is an option to export to PDF as well.

Is it different approach for exporting to PDF? Any example how to use it? Will export to PDF be included as another export format in the near feature for WPF grid?

Off-topic here, we need printing capabilities as well. Is there some support for that? You must be familiar with competitors :) I am looking at something that DevExpress grid has.

Thank you,
Maxim.

Hi Maxim,

By default RadGridView can export to CSV, Text, HTML and ExcelML however you can use RadDocument (part of Telerik.Windows.Documents assembly) to add more formats. You can check for example this demo to know more how to export to PDF and print with RadDocument. This is the Silverlight version however the WPF version (not supported in XBAP) is exactly the same.

when i am using  HtmlFormatProvider  to export to excel , in the excel sheet i found date format gets changed so how do i restrict those changes.
My code like this:-

HtmlFormatProvider htmlp = new HtmlFormatProvider();
                        using (Stream output = dialog.OpenFile())
                        {
                            htmlp.Export(document, output);
                        }
