Hi,

I would like to send a GridView to the RadGridReportingLite in order to create a report. Since I need to change the grouping and sorting of the GridView for the report with no effect on the display, I thought of cloning the GridView, send it to the RadGridReportingLite and dispose it.

There is no method of deep copying of the GridView so what I do is:

1. Create new GridView.
2. Save the layout of the original GridView and load it to the new one.
3. Create a copy of the original DataSet (which is the data source of the grid).
4. Bind the new DataSet to the new GridView;
5. Send the new GridView to the RadGridReportingLite.

The following code snippet demonstrates it.

When I execute this code I get an exception from the RadGridReportingLite, because the GridView is empty. The GridView is never displayed so the binding doesn’t occur. What I’m asking is how do I execute the binding explicitly (something like the DataBind() method in ASP.NET)?

BTW, is there a better way to achieve this functionality?

I’m using 2010 Q1 SP controls.

Thanks in advance,

Sharon.
