Call the ExportToXlsAsync method to export TreeList data in XLS format. The method overloads allow you to write the result to a stream (ExportToXlsAsync(Stream, TreeListXlExportOptions)) or to a file downloaded to a client machine (the current overload).

The method accepts a TreeListXlExportOptions object as a parameter. You can use this parameter to set up export settings.

Example

The following example exports TreeList data to XLS format on a button click:

<DxButton Text="Export to XLS" Click="ExportXls_Click" />

<DxTreeList Data="TreeListData" 
            KeyFieldName="Id" 
            ParentKeyFieldName="ParentId" 
            @ref="MyTreeList">
    <Columns>
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="Name" Caption="Task" />
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="EmployeeName" />
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="StartDate" />
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="DueDate" />
    </Columns>
</DxTreeList>

@code {
    ITreeList MyTreeList { get; set; }

    async Task ExportXls_Click() {
        await MyTreeList.ExportToXlsAsync("ExportResult");
    }
}

Export Specifics and Limitations

• Content of templates is not exported.
• Custom summaries implemented in the CustomSummary event are exported as plain text.
• Data columns anchored to the right edge become regular columns, while columns anchored to the components’s left edge remain frozen.
• The TreeList component filters and sorts selected rows on the client side. Filtering and sorting may differ in the resulting document because export depends on database collation.
• Appearance settings applied by style settings or in the CustomizeElement event handler are not exported. You can handle the CustomizeCell event to customize element appearance in the the exported document.
• Excel permits up to seven nesting levels in outlines. Deeper nesting levels are exported on the seventh nesting level.
