I have a situation where I have some very long columns. In ItemDataBound I just substring the first 80 characters and put it in the item.text, and the full in the ToolTip. The problem is when I export to Excel I want to get the entire contents of the data item, not the truncated version that's in the cell. How can I avoid this It seems that in ItemDataBound I can't test on 

The other option I've thought of is to somehow put the entire contents of the data item in the cell and maybe not have it wrap.

What would be the recommended solution?

Hello Rodney,

In order to implement the behavior you can try the following approach. Keep the whole text in the cell in the Grid. Then add a custom CSS rule that would hide the unnecessary text. For that you can use the text-overflow property.


Give the approach a try and let me know how it works for you.
