[Solved] Problems with PDF Export

[Zeeshan Abbasi]

Hi,
I have four RadGrids within one Parent RadGrid, Parent grid has no data. All four nested grids has no columns by default. I am adding columns from code behind. Number of columns are variable i-e they can be 2 to 20. All nested four grids gets equal number of columns. When i don't set width of the nested grids in pixels or percentage data export for pdf with parent grid works fine. When i set width of nested grids in and it's columns pdf export fails with following exception:
System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'Telerik.Web.Apoc.Layout.BlockArea' to type 'Telerik.Web.Apoc.Layout.AreaContainer'. at Telerik.Web.Apoc.Fo.Flow.BlockContainer.Layout(Area area) at Telerik.Web.Apoc.Fo.Flow.Block.Layout(Area area) at Telerik.Web.Apoc.Fo.Flow.TableCell.Layout(Area area) at Telerik.Web.Apoc.Fo.Flow.TableRow.Layout(Area area) at Telerik.Web.Apoc.Fo.Flow.AbstractTableBody.Layout(Area area) at Telerik.Web.Apoc.Fo.Flow.Table.Layout(Area area) at Telerik.Web.Apoc.Fo.Flow.Block.Layout(Area area) at Telerik.Web.Apoc.Fo.Flow.Flow.Layout(Area area, Region region) at Telerik.Web.Apoc.Fo.Flow.Flow.Layout(Area area) at Telerik.Web.Apoc.Fo.Pagination.PageSequence.Format(AreaTree areaTree) at Telerik.Web.Apoc.StreamRenderer.Render(PageSequence pageSequence) at Telerik.Web.Apoc.Fo.FOTreeBuilder.EndElement() at Telerik.Web.Apoc.Fo.FOTreeBuilder.Parse(XmlReader reader)
 
Can you please give some help regarding this?

Thanks,

hi telerik team,

can anyone suggest me how to export nested grids with dynamically assigned width columns?
export with default width is working fine but it is not working with custom width of columns for nested grids?

Hello Zeeshan,

This is expected behavior - currently our PDF engine doesn't support DIV/SPAN elements (RadGrid wrapper is rendered as a DIV element) with hardcoded width/height. I recommend you set the desired width on the MasterTableView instead.

I hope this helps.

Hello Zeeshan,

We will do our best to implement this functionality in the future versions of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. Unfortunately I'm unable to commit to an exact timeframe at this point.
