NestedViewTemplate Inner RadGrid Export Data

[Mehmet]

Hi Fellows,

Is there anyone has done exporting the inner grid data with the master/outer grid once clicking on the export button ?

Here is my aspx coding which may give you an idea :

Hi Mehmet,

If you would like to create a RadGrid with hierarchical structure you could use the built-in functionality provided by the control. The Master and Detail tables for the RadGrid provide an easy way to present hierarchical data. Check out the following resources that elaborate more on the matter:

• Understanding hierarchical grid structure
• Binding hierarchical grids

Regarding the export of RadGrid data I recommend taking a look at the following resources that illustrate how hierarchical RadGrid could be exported:

• Grid Hierarchy export
• RadGrid PDF export
• RadGrid export to PDF demo

I hope this information would be helpful.
