The following examples illustrate how to use the EnableClientSideExportAPI property.

MVCxGridView

  • Exporting using built-in toolbar commands

    settings.SettingsExport.EnableClientSideExportAPI = true;
    settings.Toolbars.Add(t => {
        t.EnableAdaptivity = true;
        t.Items.Add(GridViewToolbarCommand.ExportToPdf);
        t.Items.Add(GridViewToolbarCommand.ExportToXls);
    });
    
  • Exporting using context menu commands

    @using (Html.BeginForm("ExportTo", "Customization")) {
        @Html.Partial("ContextMenuPartial", Model)
    }
    
  • Exporting using client-side export API

    @Html.DevExpress().GridView(settings => {
        settings.Name = "GridView";
        settings.SettingsExport.EnableClientSideExportAPI = true;
        ...
    }).Bind(Model).GetHtml()
    ...
    <div class="button">
        @Html.DevExpress().Button(s => {
            s.Name = "ExpBtn";
            s.Text = "Export";
            s.AutoPostBack = "false";
            s.ClientSideEvents.Click = "function(s,e){ GridView.ExportTo(ASPxClientGridViewExportFormat.Xls);}";
        }).GetHtml()
