RadGrid Export to PDF- change page setup from portrait to landscape

[Parveeza]

Hello,

I am trying to export a RadGrid to PDF. However, the text overlaps. I have used your RadGrid Export tips and tricks to resize the item cell but still the columns are more and therefore I need to export the grid to the pdf as a landscape. Please let me know how this can be achieved. Thank you.

Hello Parveeza,

You can try out the following code to get a lanscsape orientation on exporting your grid to pdf.
cs:

  protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadGrid1.ExportSettings.ExportOnlyData = true;
        RadGrid1.ExportSettings.OpenInNewWindow = true;
        RadGrid1.ExportSettings.IgnorePaging = true;
        // to get lanscape orientation
        RadGrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageHeight = Unit.Parse("162mm");
        RadGrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageWidth = Unit.Parse("600mm");
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();
    }

You can also go through the following forum link

Thanks

Thank you. That worked out really well.

Is it different with VB?
Using those dimensions looks more like a banner size than landscape...

No, the mentionned sizes cannot be standard:

A4 is:             If orientationRBL.SelectedItem.Text = "Portrait" Then
                radgrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageWidth = Unit.Parse("210mm")
                radgrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageHeight = Unit.Parse("297mm")
            Else
                radgrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageWidth = Unit.Parse("297mm")
                radgrid1.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageHeight = Unit.Parse("210mm")
            End If

Hello Nicolai,

I suppose the dimensions suggested by Princy are just an illustrative example as to how to change the page orientation. You can find a code-snippet for setting a landscape orientation for A4 paper size below:
