PDF export error

[Anthony]

Hi I got an error when exporting to PDF :


Invalid XHTML. RadGrid has to render correct XHTML in order to export to PDF.
Parse error:
The '@' character, hexadecimal value 0x40, cannot be included in a name. Line 1746, position 161.
at line:
<td>&nbsp;</td><td>12379182</td><td>43289573</td><td>test</td><td>tester</td><td>0147238</td><td>"Tom &amp; test tester" <[e-mail]></td> 
  Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. 

 Exception Details: Telerik.Web.UI.Grid.Export.GridPdfExportException: Invalid XHTML. RadGrid has to render correct XHTML in order to export to PDF.
Parse error:
The '@' character, hexadecimal value 0x40, cannot be included in a name. Line 1746, position 161.
at line:
<td>&nbsp;</td><td>770547771</td><td>661576901</td><td>Antheunis</td><td>tester</td><td>0147238</td><td>"Tom &amp; test tester" <[e-mail]></td>


It seems that this happens when there is a email with <[e-mail]> in the field value


Is there a event handler that I can overwrite to handle this when data is being populated to the PDF?

Thanks.

I'm having the same problem.

I even get the error:

"Invalid XHTML. RadGrid has to render correct XHTML in order to export to PDF.
Parse error:
The 'body' start tag on line 674 position 6 does not match the end tag of 'td'. Line 675, position 15.
at line:
</td> "

when I run the telerik demo TelerikUI_for_AspNetAjax/grid/examples/functionality/exporting/pdf-export/defaultcs.aspx.

Is this a bug created with the last release?

Hello Anthony,

You can hook OnPrdExporting event handler and get the rendered html. On this event you can manually modify the output string.

Hello Pedro,

I am afraid I was unable to replicate the issue locally. Could you please let me know whether you have made some modification of the code? I would appreciate if you can provide the steps which you have followed in order to replicate the issue on my side.

Parse error:

Something odd on this one... 
All works unless I use an ItemTemplate...  The fail.
<ItemTemplate>
    <%# Eval("Claim_ID") %>
</ItemTemplate>

Claim_ID = "wc-0000000"

Other exporting is just fine..  PDF has the issue.

Looks like ..  at least for me...  PDF export cant handle  the <%# %> binding...  changed from template and it works just fine...

Hi Tim,

I prepared a small sample which demonstrates exporting of template columns and attached it to this thread. Could you please give it a try and let me know how it differs from your real setup?

This should get you what you need..  I think the source of the problem is with filtering on...  I was able to get the same results after modifying you example to this..  no time to debug any further today so I could not narrow the issue.  Good luck!

Hello Tim,

On my side the provide code works correctly and the template columns' data is exported. Could you please let me know which version of RadControl you are using?
