Exporting the grid to PDF

[Cornel Amarandei]

Hi,

I want to export a grid to PDF. I was looking to the sample from https://help.syncfusion.com/aspnetmvc/grid/exporting?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=razor but I didn't find the implementation of the method DeserializeToModel().

Thanks,

Cornel.

Hi Cornel,  

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support. DeserializeToModel is the method exist in the Utils class of the Syncfusion Libraries which will be available from the Syncfusion.EJ assemblies.  To use this method, you have chain its root class and namespace as follows.  

 

 

GridProperties obj = (GridProperties)Syncfusion.JavaScript.Utils.DeserializeToModel(typeof(GridProperties), GridModel); 

 

 

This has been used to deserialize the Grid Model (in string) to the GridProperties. We have also refreshed the online Help Document with this changes.  

 

https://help.syncfusion.com/aspnetmvc/grid/exporting?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp 

 

We have also showcased the Exporting Demo in the following page which will programmatically deserialize the Grid model to GridProperties.

We have also prepared  a sample that can be downloaded from the following location.

Hi Seeni,

Thanks for your information.

Now it's working. But I have two more questions:

1. how can I change the orientation for the PDF to landscape?

2. I have a button that do the export like this:

   function onPDFExport(args) {

        var gridObj = $("#TurnoverGrid").ejGrid("instance");  

        gridObj.export("Turnover/ExportToPdf");        

    }

How can I transmit to the method ExportToPdf() a second parameter, beside the GridModel? I need to transmit also a date, based on what I filter the data of the grid.

Regards,

Cornel.

Hi Cornel, 

Query #1:- how can I change the orientation for the PDF to landscape? 

 

We have already discussed about how to set the orientation for the PDF document in our Syncfusion Knowledge base. For your convenience please find the KB in following link.

Query #2 :- How can I transmit to the method ExportToPdf() a second parameter, beside the GridModel? I need to transmit also a date, based on what I filter the data of the grid 

 

 

For this query also, we have already discussed  about how to pass additional parameter to server while exporting. Please follow the below kb link.
