Excel Exporting Options

When I'm Converting Code given in your documentation (copy pasted here)

Styling cells based on CellType in Excel

You can customize the cell styles based on CellType by using ExportingEventHandler.

var options = new ExcelExportingOptions();
options.ExportingEventHandler = ExportingHandler;
options.AllowOutlining = true;
var excelEngine = dataGrid.ExportToExcel(dataGrid.View, options);
var workBook = excelEngine.Excel.Workbooks[0];
workBook.SaveAs("Sample.xlsx");

private static void ExportingHandler(object sender, GridExcelExportingEventArgs e)
{
      if (e.CellType == ExportCellType.HeaderCell)
      {
          e.CellStyle.BackGroundBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightPink);
          e.CellStyle.ForeGroundBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White);
          e.Handled = true;
      }
      else if (e.CellType == ExportCellType.RecordCell)
      {
          e.CellStyle.BackGroundBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightSkyBlue);
          e.Handled = true;
      }
      else if (e.CellType == ExportCellType.GroupCaptionCell)
      {
          e.CellStyle.BackGroundBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Wheat);
          e.Handled = true;
      } 
} 

I'm Getting Error on this line

options.ExportingEventHandler = ExportingHandler;
options.ExportingEventHandler = ExportingHandler()
can you please convert the above code in VB.Net 

Thanks in advance

Hi Amit, 
 
The ExportingEventHander is a delegate method and it can be used in VB.Net like below, 
 
Private Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs) 
        Dim dataGrid = Me.dataGrid 
 
        If dataGrid Is Nothing Then 
            Return 
        End If 
        Try 
            Dim options = New ExcelExportingOptions() 
            options.ExcelVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2010 
            options.ExportingEventHandler = AddressOf ExportingHandler 
 
            Dim excelEngine = dataGrid.ExportToExcel(dataGrid.View, options) 
 
            Dim workBook = excelEngine.Excel.Workbooks(0) 
 
           Dim sfd = New SaveFileDialog() 
            sfd.FilterIndex = 2 
 
            sfd.Filter = "Excel 97 to 2003 Files(*.xls)|*.xls|Excel 2007 to 2010 Files(*.xlsx)|*.xlsx" 
 
            sfd.FileName = "Book1" 
 
 
 
 
            If sfd.ShowDialog() = True Then 
                Using stream As Stream = sfd.OpenFile() 
                    If sfd.FilterIndex = 1 Then 
                        workBook.Version = ExcelVersion.Excel97to2003 
                    Else 
                        workBook.Version = ExcelVersion.Excel2010 
                    End If 
                    workBook.SaveAs(stream) 
                End Using 
 
                'Message box confirmation to view the created spreadsheet. 
                If MessageBox.Show("Do you want to view the workbook?", "Workbook has been created", MessageBoxButton.YesNo, MessageBoxImage.Information) = MessageBoxResult.Yes Then 
                    'Launching the Excel file using the default Application.[MS Excel Or Free ExcelViewer] 
                    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(sfd.FileName) 
                End If 
            End If 
 
        Catch generatedExceptionName As Exception 
        End Try 
 
    End Sub 
 
    
    Private Shared Sub ExportingHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridExcelExportingEventArgs) 
        If e.CellType = ExportCellType.HeaderCell Then 
            e.CellStyle.BackGroundBrush = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightSteelBlue) 
            e.CellStyle.ForeGroundBrush = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.DarkRed) 
            e.CellStyle.FontInfo.Bold = True 
        ElseIf e.CellType = ExportCellType.GroupCaptionCell Then 
            e.CellStyle.BackGroundBrush = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightSlateGray) 
            e.CellStyle.ForeGroundBrush = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightYellow) 
        ElseIf e.CellType = ExportCellType.GroupSummaryCell Then 
            e.CellStyle.BackGroundBrush = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightGray) 
        End If 
        e.CellStyle.FontInfo.Size = 12 
        e.CellStyle.FontInfo.FontName = "Segoe UI" 
    End Sub

Thanks a lot, I was using

AddHandler options.ExportingEventHandler, AddressOf ExportingHandler

which did not worked or was giving err

'ExportingEventHandler' is not an event of 'ExcelExportingOptions'.

now replaced with

options.ExportingEventHandler = AddressOf ExportingHandler 

is working properly as expected.

Thanks again
