Hello Luis,

There are several options you can pursue:

Export in a Landscape orientation or with larger PageSize of the Sections.
If you still need to split the number of columns per page for example 10 columns to display in the first page and next 20 on another, you will need to implement custom logic as this is not supported out of the box.
Have you considered using our Reporting product which provides advanced printing capabilities?

I hope this helps.

Hello Luis,

For a practical example on how to export RowDetails you can check our ExportingRowDetails Silverlight demo. You will need to combine it with the PrintAndExportWithRadDocument printing demo.

I am suggesting this demo because RowDetails is the recommended approach for displaying hierarchical data in GridView.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

When you are using an instance of RadGridView to create a document, you need the UI Thread because of the UI control (RadGridView).

In case, you do not need access to UI elements, you can create the document in a different thread similar to:

RadDocument doc = new RadDocument();

var thread = new Thread(() =>

{

PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();

HtmlFormatProvider htmlProvider = new HtmlFormatProvider();

doc = htmlProvider.Import(someHtml);

buffer = provider.Export(doc);

});

thread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);

thread.Start();

thread.Join();

Regarding the export itself (RadGridView.Export()), I can suggest you checking the Async Export documentation.
