Hello Goldy,

The headers won't be exported properly if your RadGrid is invisible. Can you please confirm whether this is the case? If this is not so, please post some more information about your scenario.

Best regards,

Hello Goldy,

Could you please post your code in this thread? I will try to create a runnable project in order to reproduce the problem on my end.
Thank you.

I am facing the same issue, column headers are not getting exported.
In my case, am making div containing the grid invisible at run time, which is my requirement.

Is there any way to export column headers too along with the data ??

Note :- I cannot show the grid on the page as it is specially created for the purpose of export.

Any kind of help will be highly appreciated.

Hello Gaurav,

Below you can find a simple code-snippet that demonstrates how to export invisible RadGrid. Please try this approach and let me know whether it is suitable for you.
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Export" onclick="Button1_Click" />
<telerik:RadGrid ID="ExportGrid" runat="server" Visible="false">
    <ExportSettings ExportOnlyData="true" IgnorePaging="false" OpenInNewWindow="true" />
</telerik:RadGrid>

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ExportGrid.Visible = true;
    ExportGrid.DataSource = new string[] { "John", "Michael", "Tina" };
    ExportGrid.DataBind();
    ExportGrid.MasterTableView.ExportToExcel();
}

Note that even though I set Visible to true, the control won't be displayed on the page.

Daniel

I had the same problem (dynamically created bound columns missing header text on export).  After some tinkering, I found that rebinding the grid just before the export refreshes the grid header definition.

Hello Bo,

RadGrid needs to recreate its structure in such scenario and this is why you need to call Rebind (or DataBind for simple datasource scenario).
In most cases this happens when you need to show something that has been invisible before - be it columns or the whole control.
