Generate XtraReport from ASPxGridView to Generate PDF

I have an application that uses a dynamically generated ASPxGridView, typically with many columns. I can export to PDF using the ASPxGridViewExporter, which respects the users column selection, sorting, and filter bar choices, but the large number of columns generates additional pages.

I would like to be able to wrap columns, much like you can do in an XtraReport. Is this possible, respecting the users column selection, sorting, and filter bar choices? And if so, do you have an expample?

Hi Paul,

I suggest that you try to increase the ASPxGridViewExporter.MaxColumnWidth property value. Does this make any difference?
Unfortunately, there's no built-in capability to convert an ASPxGridView layout to an XtraReport document.
As an immediate solution, I suggest that you create the XtraReport layout programmatically.
Check this online example, illustrating how to use an SQL query result to generate a report at runtime: How to query a report's parameters in a Web application using a combo box control.

Thanks,

Can I read the selected columns, column order, sort order, and filtered rows from the grid?

Hi Paul,

To access the ASPxGridView's column collection, use the ASPxGridView.Columns property.
The column's position among sorted columns is accessible using the GridViewDataColumn.SortIndex property.
To learn how to iterate rows displayed within the ASPxGridView, refer to this documentation article: ASPxGridView - Traversing Rows.

Thanks,
Alex
