I have a RadGridView(Telerik) that contains data. I don't want to see  / want to see some columns in Excell or PDF but I can't hide column for Exporting. How can I do this ? Also, When exporting checkbox columns it is seen true/false in PDF but I want to see this different for Example 'Yes' 'No'.

Hi,

To control which columns will be exported, you could subscribe for the ElementExporting event of RadGridView.  Once the event is raised, you can cancel the export (via e.Cancel=true) when the Column of the currently exported element is a column you would like to skip. 
Similarly when this event is raised you can change the e.Value to be exported. Instead of
true/false you could set it to 'Yes'/'No'. 

Please try this and let me know if you need any further assistance.

Hello,

The ElementExporting and ElementExported events were added with Q1 2010 SP2. You can also refer to our online documentation: Export Events.

Hello Ozan,

It seems you are using Windows Forms and not WPF, hence we moved your thread from the WPF forum (where it was initially submitted) to the WinForms forum. 

In regards to your question, if you want a certain column do be excluded from the export, you should set its IsVisible property to false, and then set the exporters HiddenColumnOption property to DoNotExport. More information about this is available here: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/gridview-exporting-data-export-to-excel-via-excelml-format.html.

In regards to changing the content of a cell during the export to PDF process, you can use the HtmlCellFormatting event for the purpose. An example is available here: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/gridview-exporting-data-export-to-pdf.html.

I hope that you find this information useful.

Regards,
Stefan
