public string Text { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
String	The element’s text.

Remarks

Call the ExportToPdf method to export Grid/TreeList data to PDF. Handle the CustomizeCell event to customize exported table cells. Use the following events to add headers/footers to the output document:
