Problem with Export to Excel

[madu]

I have a hierarchical grid and when i am exporting it to excel, resulted excel contains not working hyperlinks in header row.
I need to remove these links and need to show as a normal text header.
In my rad grid sorting is enabled.

Please give me a solution how to replace header.

Hello Madhu,

If you want to remove the underline in HeaderText, set ExportOnlyData property of ExportSettings as 'true'.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1">
    <ExportSettings OpenInNewWindow="true" ExportOnlyData="true">
    </ExportSettings>
      . . . . . .

Thanks Shinu for your reply
But it did not work.I replace grid header by hard coding as follows.It also did not work when there are few grids (I am exporting hierarchical grid)
And also this hard coded string value is too much long.If I need to add a column to my grid It will be very difficult to change these strings.
Please give me a better solution to achieve my goal as this is an urgent fix for production environment.

Hi All

Finally I found a solution...Hope it will be helpful you guys also.

protected void RadGrid2_ItemDataBound(object sender,Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
//turn off the hyperlinks in header in the excel file.

 if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem && isExport)
 foreach (TableCell cell in e.Item.Cells)
{
 if (cell.HasControls() && cell.Controls[0] is HyperLink)
 cell.Text = (cell.Controls[0] as LinkButton).Text;
 //if first control in cell is not linkbutton.
 else if (cell.HasControls())
{
 string txtTot = string.Empty;
 foreach (Control con in cell.Controls)
 {
 if (con is LiteralControl)
 txtTot += (con as LiteralControl).Text;
 if (con is LinkButton)
 //it looses formatting for some reason, so added bold tags.
 txtTot += "<b>" + (con as LinkButton).Text + "</b>";
 }
cell.Text = txtTot;
 }
//end of if first control in cell is not linkbutton.
}
// end of for each cell in header
}
