WebGrid now has an ability to invoke the export feature without using 'Export' button on the right corner side of the grid. The export feature now can be invoked programmatically without the users interference anymore.

To Invoke Export feature programmatically in WebGrid

Drag WebGrid to the WebForm.
Invoke ExportGrid() method to accept DynARInfo object.

Copy Code

private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{   
   // invoke the grid's export feature   
   // through the server side   
   WebGrid1.ExportGrid(SetDynInfo());
}

private DynARInfo SetDynInfo()
{   
   // configure the DynARInfo object   
   // as the parameter for the ExportGrid() method
                        
   // need to configure 4 things :   
   // dynInfo.ReportType   
   // dynInfo.ReportPath   
   // dynInfo.IISReportPath   
   // dynInfo.DynPageOrientation
                        
   DynARInfo dynInfo = new DynARInfo("html", Server.MapPath("~/TempReports") + @"\");   
   dynInfo.IISReportPath = "/TempReports/";   
   dynInfo.DynPageOrientation = PageOrientation.Portrait;   
   return dynInfo;
}

Run the project.
