Radgrid Export to Word...

[raaj]

Team,

Pls. suggest me
1) while exporting radgrid data to word (am using ExportToWord() method) my client want to set Header and
Footer in the word document. Is it possible?
2) I want to Render Radgrid as a HTML to export to word (bcoz I want to apply CSS ) is it possible?

Give me the way to achieve this?

Hello Rajesh,

1) Unfortunately headers and footers are not supported when exporting to Word format.

2) You can apply CSS formatting when exporting to Word this way:

protected void RadGrid1_GridExporting(object source, GridExportingArgs e)
{
    string cssCode = "<style type='text/css'>" +
        "tr { background-color: #bbb; }" +
        "th { background-color: #555; color: #fff; }" +
        "</style>";
    e.ExportOutput = e.ExportOutput.Replace("</head>", cssCode + "</head>");
}

Hi Telerik

1) Unfortunately headers and footers are not supported when exporting to Word format.

Any plans to work on this?  It would be ever so useful to have the headers shown in my tables when exporting a RadGrid to a Word doc ...

P.S.  Thanks for tip (2): that's working very nicely for me.

Hello Ed,

We will investigate whether it is possible to add headers and footers in Microsoft Word HTML format.

Starting from Q1 2011 you can use the HtmlExporting event to add styles directly:

protected void RadGrid1_HTMLExporting(object sender, GridHTMLExportingEventArgs e)
{
    e.Styles.Append(...);
}

Word/Excel export (HTML-based)
