OnExportContent

The OnExportContent event fires just before the content from the Telerik Editor is exported. It provides access to the generated output, so that it could be used or modified upon further application requirements.

The event handler receives two arguments:

1. Sender–the RadEditor instance that raised the event.

2. Event arguments–an object of type Telerik.Web.UI.EditorExportingArgs exposes the string ExportOutput property, the Telerik.Web.UI.ExportType property and a Boolean Cancel property with which you can cancel the sending of the file to the client (by default is set to false).

Example 1: How to save the ExportOutput to a file on the server and prevent it from being sent to the client.

ASP.NET

<telerik:RadEditor RenderMode="Lightweight" runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" OnExportContent="RadEditor1_ExportContent" ContentFilters="DefaultFilters, PdfExportFilter">
</telerik:RadEditor>
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="Button1" Text="Export to PDF" OnClick="Button1_Click" />

C#

using System;
using System.IO;
using Telerik.Web.UI;

public partial class DefaultCS : System.Web.UI.Page
{
	protected void RadEditor1_ExportContent(object sender, EditorExportingArgs e)
	{
		string url = String.Format("~/{0}.pdf", RadEditor1.ExportSettings.FileName);
		string path = Server.MapPath(url);

		if (File.Exists(path))
		{
			File.Delete(path);
		}

		using (FileStream fs = File.Create(path))
		{
			Byte[] info = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(e.ExportOutput);
			fs.Write(info, 0, info.Length);
		}

		e.Cancel = true;
	}

	protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
		RadEditor1.ExportToPdf();
	}
}

VB

Imports System.IO
Imports Telerik.Web.UI

Partial Class DefaultVB
	Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

	Protected Sub RadEditor1_ExportContent(sender As Object, e As EditorExportingArgs)
		Dim url As String = String.Format("~/{0}.pdf", RadEditor1.ExportSettings.FileName)
		Dim path As String = Server.MapPath(url)

		If File.Exists(path) Then
			File.Delete(path)
		End If

		Using fs As FileStream = File.Create(path)
			Dim info As [Byte]() = System.Text.Encoding.[Default].GetBytes(e.ExportOutput)
			fs.Write(info, 0, info.Length)
		End Using

		e.Cancel = True
	End Sub

	Protected Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
		RadEditor1.ExportToPdf()
	End Sub
End Class

Example 2: Dynamically adding header and footer elements to the exported document in the OnExportContent event.

ASP.NET

<telerik:RadEditor RenderMode="Lightweight" runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" OnExportContent="RadEditor1_ExportContent" ContentFilters="DefaultFilters, PdfExportFilter"></telerik:RadEditor>
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="Button1" Text="Export to DOCX" OnClick="Button1_Click" />

C#

using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Telerik.Web.UI;
using Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Docx;
using Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.Model;
using Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.Model.Styles;

public partial class DefaultCS : System.Web.UI.Page
{
	protected void RadEditor1_ExportContent(object sender, EditorExportingArgs e)
	{
		ExportType exportType = e.ExportType;

		if (exportType == ExportType.Word)
		{
			string exportedOutput = e.ExportOutput;

			Byte[] output = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(exportedOutput);

			DocxFormatProvider docxProvider = new DocxFormatProvider();
			RadFlowDocument document = docxProvider.Import(output);

			Header defaultHeader = document.Sections.First().Headers.Add();
			Paragraph defaultHeaderParagraph = defaultHeader.Blocks.AddParagraph();
			defaultHeaderParagraph.TextAlignment = Alignment.Right;
			defaultHeaderParagraph.Inlines.AddRun("This is a sample header.");

			Footer defaultFooter = document.Sections.First().Footers.Add();
			Paragraph defaultFooterParagraph = defaultFooter.Blocks.AddParagraph();
			defaultFooterParagraph.TextAlignment = Alignment.Right;
			defaultFooterParagraph.Inlines.AddRun("This is a sample footer.");

			Byte[] modifiedOutput = docxProvider.Export(document);
			string finalOutput = Encoding.Default.GetString(modifiedOutput, 0, modifiedOutput.Length);

			e.ExportOutput = finalOutput;
		}
	}

	protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
		RadEditor1.ExportToDocx();
	}
}
