PDF Export error w/ "<" and ">" in data

[Robert]

I get an error on export if the data contains "<" or ">" b/c it thinks its part of the XML when it is exporting to PDF.  When I replace these characters it messes up the RadGrid.  Is there a solution to this?  Thanks.

Hello Robert,

As you properly noticed, you can't use such unescaped symbols because this will result in broken output (XHTML compliance should be observed). A possible approach in this case would be to use the Server.HtmlEncode method.

I tried that in my code already and the GridEditCommandColumn buttons are replaced w/ &nbsp;

Hello Robert,

In this case you may use the HtmlEncode property of GridBoundColumn:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn HtmlEncode="true" ...
