null reference exception in ExportToCSV method

[Steve McWilliams]

I am trying to add button action to export contents of my dataGrid to a csv file.

In trying to follow simple code example I found, I get null reference exception.

I have added Syncfusion.GridConverter.Wpf, Syncfusion.XlsIO.Base and Syncfusion.XlsIO.Wpf references to project

Can you tell what is wrong from attached screen capture ?

Hi Steve,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.

We have prepared the sample for converting the GridDataControl in the CSV file. This sample working fine without any exception from our side. We have attached our tested sample in the below location, please revert by modifying the attached sample based on your application along with the replication procedure and also could you please share the details about which Syncfusion Version you have used in your application?. It will be helpful for us to analyze further.

I use VisualStudio 2013, but I have an older version of Syncfusion (Essential Studio 10.3.0.43 ), which is probably the main problem.

I can't try upgrading until next week, but after that maybe everything will work OK.

Anyway, I got a XAML parsing exception trying to run your example directly.

Then I tried just revising my code to use the Command and CommandTarget on the exportEventsButton, as your sample does, but I could not get it to accept the <syncfusion.LayoutControl.GridView> element, even though I have Syncfusion.SampleLayout reference loaded.

I tried just executing the code in the ExportAllToCSV method in my button click method, but then I got the 'No entry point found' error shown in attached JPG.

In case it helps, I attached the relevant xaml and xaml.cs files I'm using.

 'runDataGrid' is name of GridDataControl and 'exportEventsButton' is the button, obviously.

Hi Steve,

Please let us know once you have upgraded from 10.3.0.43 to our latest version.

We have checked the reported issue “Exception throws while export to CSV” on our end with your XAML and CS files and in your current version(10.3.0.43). But GridDataControl is exported into CSV without any exception.

Please refer the below sample which we are tried to reproduce the issue,

Sample Location: Export_to_CSV


Please check this issue once your upgraded to our latest version and let us know if you still facing the same issue.
