To apply the grid’s client state, the grid should be placed in a form.

@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 );
}
