Print grid in color

[Joe Lozina]

Hi,

I have a grid where the background of cells are different colors based on the value of the cell, the the first three columns (GridViewDataColumn ) backgrounds are in color also.

I am trying to print the grid in color but the output from a color printer always ends up being black and white.

I tried printing based on the printing example in the demo. http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#GridView/Printing

I've also tried printing based on the blog http://blogs.telerik.com/vladimirenchev/posts/10-01-15/how_to_print_your_datagrid_or_any_uielement_on_multiple_pages_with_silverlight_4.aspx

Even if I set the GridViewDataColumn Background property to a color it still doesn't print those columns in color.

Also when I export the grid to excel the background colors don't appear as well.

Can you let me know how to print and export a grid in color?

Regards,
Joe

Hello Joe,

 I've attached an example to illustrate you how to achieve your goal with printing. To style the exported output (supported only for HTML export) you can use the approach demonstrated in our demo.
