how to inject custom data into pdf file while exporting radgrid to Pdf?

[Ram]

Hi

I am exporting radGrid data to Pdf format, So while exporting I want to inject my own data ( custom data) into the pdf file.

How can  I achieve this?


Thanks,

Hello Ram,

Go through the section 'Including additional information as part of the exported document' of the following document which explains on using CommandItemTemplate for including additional details as part of the exported content.

Thanks for the reply,

ya tried that already....but I am unable to inject  data(may be I am implementing in a wrong way)
here what exactly the details are and how the CommandItemTemplate is invoked ?

<CommandItemTemplate>

[Add your details here]

</CommandItemTemplate>

can you provide any sample code.

and one more thing if there are more number of columns (say > 10) in my radGrid after exporting to pdf the data is overlapping in Pdf file,
so how can I adjust the data to be displayed in the page with out ovelapping of column data or is there any criteria that i can export only limited number of columns.

Thanks,

Hi Ram,

Have you set the CommandItemDisplay property? If not try setting it as shown below and see whether you are able to include additional data in the CommandItemTemplate.

ASPX:

<MasterTableView  CommandItemDisplay="top"    >

Also try setting the PageWidth for the PDF and see whether the exported data is overlapping each other.

ASPX:

<ExportSettings Pdf-PageWidth="1500"  ></ExportSettings>

Thanks

Thanks Shinu,

Now I am able to display the columns with out overlapping.

But my data inject problem not solved.

Hi Ram,

I used  CommandItemTemplate to display additional data and I am able to see it in the exported document as well. Make sure that you have set ExportOnlyData to false in the Click event of the Export button.

CS:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadGrid1.ExportSettings.ExportOnlyData = false;
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();
    }

Thanks

Thanks it is resolved now

but to make it work I had to add CommandItemDisplay="Top"

<mastertableview CommandItemDisplay="Top">

because of this only earlier it was not working

In exporting to PDF,I got that error when i set ExportOnlyData = false;

Hello Le,

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.
Please examine it and tell me if I am missing something.

I think that exception is permissions related because I cannot reproduce it on my local development box, but when I copy my code to the test server it starts happening.
