How to show WaitingPopup while exporting in .NET WebForms Grid?

5 mins read

Usually, in Grid export, waitingpopup cannot be rendered. Due to the full post, we cannot handle the Waitingpopup. However, this KB overcome those behavior using Browser Cookies.

 

Javascript

<div id="Grid"></div>
 
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        var datasrc = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(ViewBag.datasource));
        $("#Grid").ejGrid({
            dataSource: ej.parseJSON(datasrc),
            toolbarSettings: { 
                showToolbar: true, 
                toolbarItems: [ej.Grid.ToolBarItems.ExcelExport, ej.Grid.ToolBarItems.WordExport, ej.Grid.ToolBarItems.PdfExport]
            },      
            allowPaging: true,
            columns: [
                    { field: "OrderID", headerText: "Order ID", textAlign: ej.TextAlign.Right },
                    { field: "OrderDate", headerText: "Order Date", format: "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", textAlign: ej.TextAlign.Right },
                    { field: "Freight", format: "{0:C2}", textAlign: ej.TextAlign.Right },
                    { field: "ShipName", headerText: "Ship Name" },
                    { field: "ShipCity", headerText: "Ship City" },
                    { field: "ShipCountry", headerText: "Ship Country" }
            ],
            toolbarClick: "onToolbarClick"
        });
    });
 
</script>

 

 

MVC

 
@(Html.EJ().Grid<OrdersView>("Grid")
        .Datasource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.datasource)
        .ToolbarSettings(toolBar => toolBar
            .ShowToolbar()
            .ToolbarItems(items =>
            {
                items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.ExcelExport);
                items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.WordExport);
                items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.PdfExport);
            }))
        .AllowPaging()
        .Columns(col =>
        {
            col.Field("OrderID").HeaderText("Order ID").TextAlign(TextAlign.Right).Add();
            col.Field("OrderDate").HeaderText("Order Date").TextAlign(TextAlign.Right).Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}").Add();
            col.Field("Freight").HeaderText("Freight").TextAlign(TextAlign.Right).Format("{0:C}").Add();
            col.Field("ShipName").HeaderText("Ship Name").Add();
            col.Field("ShipCity").HeaderText("Ship City").Add();
            col.Field("ShipCountry").HeaderText("Ship Country").Add();
        })
            .ClientSideEvents(events => events.ToolbarClick("onToolbarClick"))
        )

 

Code behind

    {
        public static List<EditableOrder> ord = new List<EditableOrder>();
        public ActionResult Index()

        {
            ExcelExport exp = new ExcelExport();
            var DataSource = new NorthwindDataContext().OrdersViews.Take(100).ToList();
            GridProperties obj = ConvertGridObject(GridModel);
            //Setting the cookie
            Response.Cookies["Export"]["isdone"] = "done";
            exp.Export(obj, DataSource, "Export.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Excel2010, false, false, "flat-saffron");
        }
        public void ExportToWord(string GridModel)

            exp.Export(obj, DataSource, "Export.pdf", false, false, "flat-saffron");
        }
        private GridProperties ConvertGridObject(string gridProperty)
        {
            JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
            IEnumerable div = (IEnumerable)serializer.Deserialize(gridProperty, typeof(IEnumerable));
            GridProperties gridProp = new GridProperties();
            foreach (KeyValuePair<string, object> ds in div)
            {
                var property = gridProp.GetType().GetProperty(ds.Key, BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.IgnoreCase);
