[Solved] RadGrid Export + Semi Ajax

[Guido Tapia]

Hi,  I have a grid that I want to export to excel.  The export is initiated by a dropdown list (select export format).  This drop downlist is not Ajaxified, however it is an UpdatedControl of another control (the run report button).

I want to enable/dissable this drop down list and hence needs to be updated by an ajaxified control.  However when the drop down list fires its post back it is not an ajax request.

However, the export does not work.

If I remove the dropdownlist from the UpdatedControl of the afax manager then it expo0rts correctly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Guido

I was able to find a work around for this.

Simply ajaxify this control ie:

<

 

telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="ddlExport"><UpdatedControls><telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="ddlExport" /></UpdatedControls></telerik:AjaxSetting>

 

This will then fire the OnRequest start event.

You can then dissable ajax as described here:

I still think this is a bug as the control was not initially ajaxified and I am now ajaxifyint it simply to dissable ajax.

Thanks

Hello Guido,

Even if your DropDownList is not an initiator, it will still perform AJAX (not a postback as required to export). Note that when it's set as UpdatedControl it will actually be wrapped in UpdatePanel.

Nevertheless, we are glad that you managed to overcome the problem on your own. Your approach is correct.

Kind regards,
