[Solved] header not showing in exporttopdf

[newbie]

I have a grid inside the nestedviewtemplate of another grid.

In the commanditemtemplate i have a button for exporting the grid.

However, my header row is not displayed. I am unable to figure out why my header is not visible.

Grid declaration:

<

.cs code for export

protected

void LinkGridRelatedContactPrint_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)

 

{

 

foreach (GridNestedViewItem item in RadGridContact.MasterTableView.GetItems(Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemType.NestedView))

 

{

 

RadGrid gridKeyRel = (RadGrid)item.FindControl("RadGridKeyRelation"); 

 

gridKeyRel.Rebind();

FormatGridExport(gridKeyRel);

 

gridKeyRel.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();

}

}

I am also unable to put any formatting on the pdf export.

 

private

void FormatGridExport(RadGrid grid)

 

{

 

foreach(GridHeaderItem headerItem in grid.MasterTableView.GetItems(Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemType.Header))

 

{

 

 

headerItem.Style[

"font-size"] = "6pt";

 

headerItem.Style[

"color"] = "#ffffff";

 

headerItem.Style[

"background-color"] = "#003e7e";
headerItem.Style["vertical-align"] = "middle";

 

 

foreach (TableCell cell in headerItem.Cells)

 

{

cell.Style[

"font-family"] = "Tahoma";

 

cell.Style[

"text-align"] = "center";

 

cell.Style[

"font-weight"] = "normal";

 

cell.Style[

"border-color"] = "#003e7e";

 

}

 

}

 

foreach (Telerik.Web.UI.GridItem dataItem in grid.MasterTableView.GetItems(Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemType.Item))

 

{

 

 

foreach (TableCell cell in dataItem.Cells)

 

{

cell.Style[

"font-family"] = "Tahoma";

 

cell.Style[

"text-align"] = "center";

 

cell.Style[

"color"] = "#898a8c";

 

cell.Style[

"font-size"] = "5.5pt";}

 

}

}

What am I doing wrong here?

Hello Anumeha,

Unfortunately I could not reproduce this issue. I created a test project in my attempt to recreate the abnormality explained so far. I used the latest official build of RadControls. I've attached my sample web site project to this forum thread. Please examine it and tell me if I am missing something.
