RadGrid PDF export to server

[Lajos]

Hello, Telerik team, I have a question.

For a lot of hours I've tried to solve my problem. I want to export the data source of a RadGrid to a file on the server.

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf()

exports the Pdf file and sends it to the client side. I would like to store my file on server side. I'm using ASP.NET with Visual Basic.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Best regards,
Lajos Árpád.

Thank you for your answer, now the server-side pdf export works, I've defined the following event for that:

    Protected Sub RadGrid1_GridExporting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridExportingArgs) Handles RadGrid1.GridExporting
        If (CStr(Request("__EVENTTARGET")).Equals("SendEmail")) Then
            Using fs As FileStream = File.Create(_FileName)
                Dim output As Byte() = Encoding.GetEncoding(1252).GetBytes(e.ExportOutput)
                fs.Write(output, 0, output.Length)
                AddStartupScript("openEmailWindow('" & _FileName & "');")
            End Using
        End If
    End Sub

Here _FileName is a generated string, openEmailWindow opens a RadWindow and AddStartupScript registers a startup script. My problem is that my RadWindow doesn't open. There is no problem with openEmailWindow or AddStartupScript as far as I can tell, since they work without a problem if I call them elsewhere. The problem is that after exporting they don't open. How can I enhance the server-side pdf generation with RadWindow opening after the successful export?

Thank you,
