Why is background color and font change only updated every other row in radgrid?

[Kimberly]

I am trying to export the contents of my radgrid to a pdf file.  I am using the default skin.  Since I have 13 columns, the data is too long to fit on the page and is cut off.  I was trying to update the size of the text initially and noticed that it was only working on every other row.  I am assuming that this has something to do with the AlternatingItemStyle setting?  Is there something special that I need to add to get this update to work on all rows in the radgrid?  Please let me know if you need for me to provide you with any other information.

protected void listAllAcctsBtnExportToPDF_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      ApplyStylesToPDFExport(rgListAllAccounts.MasterTableView);
       rgListAllAccounts.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();
    }//end of listAllAcctsBtnExportToPDF_Click

private void ApplyStylesToPDFExport(GridTableView view)
    {

      // Get access to the header of the grid
      GridItem headerItem = view.GetItems(GridItemType.Header)[0];

      // Apply some css style to the header
      headerItem.Cells.Count.ToString();

      foreach (TableCell cell in headerItem.Cells)
      {
        cell.Style["font-family"] = "Verdana";
        cell.Style["text-align"] = "left";
        cell.Style["vertical-align"] = "middle";
        cell.Style["font-size"] = "10px";
      }

      // Get access to the data of the grid

      GridItem[] dataItems = view.GetItems(GridItemType.Item);

      // Apply some css style to the data items

      foreach (GridItem item in dataItems)
      {

        foreach (TableCell cell in item.Cells)
        {

          cell.Style["font-family"] = "Verdana";
          cell.Style["text-align"] = "left";
          cell.Style["vertical-align"] = "middle";
          cell.Style["font-size"] = "10px";
          cell.Style["background-color"] = "red";
        }
      }
    }//end of ApplyStylesToPDFExport

Hello,

i have tried with your code and its works perfectly.

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource"
>
            <MasterTableView>
                <Columns>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" UniqueName="Name">
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                    <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                    </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                </Columns>
            </MasterTableView>
        </telerik:RadGrid>
        <br />
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Button1_Click" />

protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
{
    dynamic data = new[] {
      new { ID = 1, Name ="aaa"},
      new { ID = 2, Name = "bbb"},
      new { ID = 3, Name = "ccc"},
      new { ID = 4, Name = "ddd"},
      new { ID = 5, Name ="eee"},
      new { ID = 6, Name ="aaa"},
      new { ID = 7, Name = "bbb"},
      new { ID = 8, Name = "ccc"},
      new { ID = 9, Name = "ddd"},
      new { ID = 10, Name ="eee"}
    };
    RadGrid1.DataSource = data;
}




protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ApplyStylesToPDFExport(RadGrid1.MasterTableView);
    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();
    //RadGrid1.Rebind();
}

private void ApplyStylesToPDFExport(GridTableView view)
{
    // Get access to the header of the grid
    GridItem headerItem = view.GetItems(GridItemType.Header)[0];

    // Apply some css style to the header
    headerItem.Cells.Count.ToString();

    foreach (TableCell cell in headerItem.Cells)
    {
        cell.Style["font-family"] = "Verdana";
        cell.Style["text-align"] = "left";
        cell.Style["vertical-align"] = "middle";
        cell.Style["font-size"] = "10px";
    }

    // Get access to the data of the grid
    GridItem[] dataItems = view.GetItems(GridItemType.Item);

    // Apply some css style to the data items
    foreach (GridItem item in dataItems)
    {
        foreach (TableCell cell in item.Cells)
        {
            cell.Style["font-family"] = "Verdana";
            cell.Style["text-align"] = "left";
            cell.Style["vertical-align"] = "middle";
            cell.Style["font-size"] = "10px";
            cell.Style["background-color"] = "red";
        }
    }
}

Jayesh,

Thank you for your reply!  I am still seeing the same behaviour.  I tried this in both Mozilla Firefox and IE.  Do you know what else I might be missing that would cause this problem?  Please let me know if you need for me to provide you with more information.

Thanks!!

Hello Kimberly,

The code you provided looped only through the Items and not the AlternateItems. In order to loop through all the items you could use the following approach.

private void ApplyStylesToPDFExport(GridTableView view)
    {
        // Get access to the header of the grid
        GridItem headerItem = view.GetItems(GridItemType.Header)[0];

        // Apply some css style to the header
        headerItem.Cells.Count.ToString();

        foreach (TableCell cell in headerItem.Cells)
        {
            cell.Style["font-family"] = "Verdana";
            cell.Style["text-align"] = "left";
            cell.Style["vertical-align"] = "middle";
            cell.Style["font-size"] = "3px";
        }

        // Get access to the data of the grid
        GridDataItemCollection dataItems = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items;

        // Apply some css style to the data items
        foreach (GridItem item in dataItems)
        {
            foreach (TableCell cell in item.Cells)
            {
                cell.Style["font-family"] = "Verdana";
                cell.Style["text-align"] = "left";
                cell.Style["vertical-align"] = "middle";
                cell.Style["font-size"] = "3px";
                cell.Style["background-color"] = "red";
            }
        }
    }//end of ApplyStylesToPDFExport
