Why does RadGrid keep insisting on inserting this line??

[matt]

CommandItemSettings

 

 

ExportToPdfText="Export to Pdf"

 

Whenever I use the designer it keeps putting that in..

Furthermore.. Id actually like that functionality

           Width="500px" OnUpdateCommand="RadGrid1_UpdateCommand" OnInsertCommand="RadGrid1_InsertCommand"

           EntitySetName="Orgs" EnableUpdate="True">
       </asp:EntityDataSource>

but I don't see any 'Export to PDF' on my radgrid.. what else do I need to add?

Hello Matt,

The aforementioned property is serialized (intentionally) in order to address a localization-related issue. You can safely ignore it - please excuse us for any inconvenience caused.

As to the second question - You can enable the desired buttons this way:

<MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top">
    <CommandItemSettings ShowExportToCsvButton="true"
        ShowExportToPdfButton="true"
        ShowExportToExcelButton="true"
        ShowExportToWordButton="true" />
</MasterTableView>

Kind regards,
Daniel

All the exports seem to work except the PDF.. Any idea what this is about ?

Hello Matt,

This problem is probably caused by RadComboBox which uses a special CSS style that is not supported by the PDF engine. Can you please set ExportOnlyData to true? Alternatively you can try to set the pager style to numeric.
PDF export
Pager item

Let me know if the problem still persists.
