I cant print grid.

[Andrew Overlord]

When i try to print my grid i have this error: "Value cannot be null."

This is my code:

            SfDataGrid dataGrid = new SfDataGrid();

            dataGrid.Columns.Add(new GridTextColumn() { HeaderText = "Order ID", MappingName = "OrderID" });

            dataGrid.Columns.Add(new GridTextColumn() { HeaderText = "Customer ID", MappingName = "CustomerID" });

            dataGrid.Columns.Add(new GridTextColumn() { HeaderText = "Customer Name", MappingName = "CustomerName" });

            dataGrid.Columns.Add(new GridTextColumn() { HeaderText = "Country", MappingName = "Country" });

            dataGrid.Columns.Add(new GridNumericColumn() { HeaderText = "Unit Price", MappingName = "UnitPrice" });

            dataGrid.PrintSettings = new PrintSettings();

            dataGrid.PrintSettings.PrintPageOrientation = PrintOrientation.Portrait;

            dataGrid.Print();

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.

In SfDataGrid  it is not possible to perform the Print operation without creating the SfDataGrid.View. But you can achieve your requirement “printing a SfDataGrid from code behind” by using the below code example, Here we have created the SfDataGrid.View manually.

C# 

SfDataGrid grid = new SfDataGrid(); 

            grid.ItemsSource = (new OrderInfoViewModel()).OrdersListDetails; 

 

            GridQueryableCollectionViewWrapper wrapper = new GridQueryableCollectionViewWrapper((this.DataContext as OrderInfoViewModel).OrdersListDetails, grid); 

            grid.ItemsSource = wrapper; 

            grid.Columns.Add(new GridTextColumn() { MappingName = "CustomerID" }); 

            grid.Columns.Add(new GridTextColumn() { MappingName = "Discount" }); 

 

            grid.PrintSettings = new PrintSettings(); 

            grid.PrintSettings.PrintManagerBase = new PrintManagerBase(wrapper); 

            grid.PrintSettings.PrintPageOrientation = PrintOrientation.Portrait; 

            grid.PrintSettings.PrintManagerBase.Print();

 

We have prepared a sample as per your requirement and you can download the sample from the below location,
