Hi,

I have a radGrid to which I am trying to export using standard radGrid export options. But I am have few issues as below:

1) Export to CSV is not giving me data.
2) Export to Excel is giving data with extra columns.
3) Export to PDF is giving data with extra columns.

I am using the following code to do the same. Please let me know what the issue is.

Hi Mahesh,

Try adding the columns to RadGrid inside the !IsPostBack condition in the PageLoad event. Also since you have statically declared the Grid add columns to the corresponding collection first, before the values for their properties are set. This is important because no ViewState is managed for the object before it has been added to the corresponding collection.

CS:
 
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    { 
        if (!IsPostBack) 
        { 
            GridTemplateColumn column1 = new GridTemplateColumn(); 
 
            // add the column to the columns collection first 
            radGrid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(column1); 
 
            column1.UniqueName = "RollNo"
            column1.HeaderText = "RollNo"
            column1.ItemTemplate = new LabelTemplate("RollNo"string.Empty); 
 
            GridTemplateColumn column2 = new GridTemplateColumn(); 
            radGrid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(column2); 
 
            column2.UniqueName = "Name"
            column2.HeaderText = "Name"
            column2.ItemTemplate = new LabelTemplate("Name"string.Empty); 
 
            GridTemplateColumn column3 = new GridTemplateColumn(); 
            radGrid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(column3); 
 
            column3.UniqueName = "Address"
            column3.HeaderText = "Address"
            column3.ItemTemplate = new LabelTemplate("Address"string.Empty); 
 
 
        
 
        radGrid.DataSource = GetDataTable(); 
        radGrid.DataBind(); 
    } 

You may go through the following help article for getting more details regarding the programmatic creation.
