Error when trying to export to excel

[Kathy Gray]

When I copy the code you have in your example for exporting the grid to excel, I get the following error:

'GroupingGridExcelConverterControl' is ambiguous in the namespace 'Syncfusion.GroupingGridExcelConverter'.

Hi Kathy,

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.

Currently, we have the Excel export feature implemented with full support to the auto-formats present in the Grid. Please check out the details below,

. Exporting the data to excel file.
. Exporting the background color of the Grid (when AutoFormat is set) to excel file.
. Exporting the Grouped, Summary columns.
. Excel file, columns and rows can be autofitted.

Please refer the below code snippet which illustrates the above:


GroupingGridExcelConverterControl ggExcelConverter = new GroupingGridExcelConverterControl();
ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine();
IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
IWorkbook myWorkbook = excelEngine.Excel.Workbooks.Create(2);
IWorksheet mySheet = myWorkbook.Worksheets[0];
ggExcelConverter.AutofitColumns = true; // used to Autofit the Excel columns
ggExcelConverter.AutofitRows = true; // used to Autofit the Excel rows
ggExcelConverterGroupingGridToExcel(myWorkbook,this.GridGroupingControl1, mySheet, ConverterOptions.Visible);
myWorkbook.SaveAs("Color.xls",ExcelSaveType.SaveAsXLS,Response,ExcelDownloadType.PromptDialog);


Please refer the sample from the below link which illustrates this:

http://websamples.syncfusion.com/samples/Grid.Web/6.2.0.39/Grid_Web_Excel/main.htm

The above sample is in 6.2.0.39 version, but you can find the modified version of this code present in the "App_Code" directory of the sample. These classes would work with latest version(6.3.0.30) of Essential Studio also.

- Copy the files present under "App_Code" directory of the sample.
- Paste it in your application''s "App_Code" folder.

Once you have the files in your "App_Code" directory of your application, the new classes would be referred. So no need to refer the Syncfusion.GridConverter.Web.dll.


Note:

Please refer the below link to download our latest version 6.3.0.30:
