@using (Html.BeginForm("ReportGenerator", "Home")) {
@Html.DevExpress().Button(settings => {
settings.Name = "reportGenerator";
settings.Text = "Generate Report";
settings.UseSubmitBehavior = true;
}).GetHtml()
@Html.Partial("GridViewPartialView", Model)
}
public ActionResult ReportGenerator() {
XtraReport_GridView report = new XtraReport_GridView();
report.AssignGridPrintable(
GridViewExtension.CreatePrintableObject(GetGridViewSettings(), NorthwindDataProvider.GetCustomers())
);
return View("ViewReport", report );
