GridDocumentExportCustomizeCellEventArgsBase.ColumnFieldName Property

Returns the column field name of the processed cell.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v25.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

public string ColumnFieldName { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
String	A column field name.

Remarks

When exporting Grid/TreeList data to PDF, handle the CustomizeCell event to customize table cells in the output file. Use the ColumnFieldName event argument to determine the column containing the processed cell.

Grid Example

The following example exports Grid data to PDF and customizes the output table appearance:
