Excel Export in Blazor DataGrid Component
12 Jan 202324 minutes to read
The excel export allows exporting DataGrid data to Excel document. You need to use the
ExcelExport method for exporting. To enable Excel export in the datagrid, set the AllowExcelExport property as true.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids
<SfGrid ID="Grid" @ref="DefaultGrid" DataSource="@Orders" AllowSorting="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "ExcelExport" })" AllowExcelExport="true" AllowPaging="true">
<GridEvents OnToolbarClick="ToolbarClickHandler" TValue="Order"></GridEvents>
<GridColumns>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="150"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" Format="d" Type="ColumnType.Date" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130"></GridColumn>

</GridColumns>
</SfGrid>
@code{
private SfGrid<Order> DefaultGrid;
public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }
public async Task ToolbarClickHandler(Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations.ClickEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Item.Id == "Grid_excelexport") //Id is combination of Grid's ID and itemname
{
await this.DefaultGrid.ExcelExport();
}
}
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
{
OrderID = 1000 + x,
CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
Freight = 2.1 * x,
OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
}).ToList();
}
public class Order
{
public int? OrderID { get; set; }
public string CustomerID { get; set; }
public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
public double? Freight { get; set; }
}
}To customize excel export
The excel export provides an option to customize mapping of the datagrid to excel document.
Export current page
The excel export provides an option to export the current page into excel. To export current page, define exportType to CurrentPage.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids
<SfGrid ID="Grid" @ref="DefaultGrid" DataSource="@Orders" AllowSorting="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "ExcelExport" })" AllowExcelExport="true" AllowPaging="true">

public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }
public async Task ToolbarClickHandler(Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations.ClickEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Item.Id == "Grid_excelexport") //Id is combination of Grid's ID and itemname
{
ExcelExportProperties ExportProperties = new ExcelExportProperties();
ExportProperties.ExportType = ExportType.CurrentPage;
await this.DefaultGrid.ExcelExport(ExportProperties);
}
}
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
{
OrderID = 1000 + x,

}).ToList();
}
public class Order
{
public int? OrderID { get; set; }
public string CustomerID { get; set; }
public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
public double? Freight { get; set; }
}
}Export hidden columns
The excel export provides an option to export hidden columns of DataGrid by defining IncludeHiddenColumn as true.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids
<SfGrid ID="Grid" @ref="DefaultGrid" DataSource="@Orders" AllowSorting="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "ExcelExport" })" AllowExcelExport="true" AllowPaging="true">
<GridEvents OnToolbarClick="ToolbarClickHandler" TValue="Order"></GridEvents>

<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="150"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" Format="d" Type="ColumnType.Date" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Visible="false" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
</GridColumns>
</SfGrid>
@code{
private SfGrid<Order> DefaultGrid;
public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }
public async Task ToolbarClickHandler(Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations.ClickEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Item.Id == "Grid_excelexport") //Id is combination of Grid's ID and itemname
{
ExcelExportProperties ExportProperties = new ExcelExportProperties();
ExportProperties.IncludeHiddenColumn = true;
await this.DefaultGrid.ExcelExport(ExportProperties);
}
}
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
{
OrderID = 1000 + x,
CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
Freight = 2.1 * x,
OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
}).ToList();
}
public class Order
{
public int? OrderID { get; set; }
public string CustomerID { get; set; }
public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
public double? Freight { get; set; }
}
}Export the selected records only
The Grid has an option to export the selected records in an excel exported document. This can be achieved by using the DataSource property of the ExcelExportProperties class and the GetSelectedRecordsAsync method of the Grid.
In the following sample, selected records will be gotten from the GetSelectedRecordsAsync method and provided to the DataSource property of ExcelExportProperties. Then pass this ExcelExportProperties class to the ExportToExcelAsync method to get the selected records in the exported document.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids
<SfGrid ID="Grid" @ref="DefaultGrid" DataSource="@Orders" AllowExcelExport="true" AllowPaging="true"
Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "ExcelExport" })" AllowSelection="true">
<GridEvents OnToolbarClick="OnToolbarClick" TValue="Order"></GridEvents>
<GridSelectionSettings Type="SelectionType.Multiple"></GridSelectionSettings>
<GridColumns>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="150"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" Format="d" Type="ColumnType.Date" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
</GridColumns>
</SfGrid>
@code{
private SfGrid<Order> DefaultGrid;
public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }
public async Task OnToolbarClick(Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations.ClickEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Item.Id == "Grid_excelexport") // Id is combination of Grid's ID and itemname.
{
ExcelExportProperties ExcelProperties = new ExcelExportProperties();
var selectedRecord = await DefaultGrid.GetSelectedRecordsAsync();
if(selectedRecord.Count() > 0)
{
ExcelProperties.DataSource = selectedRecord;
}
else
{
ExcelProperties.DataSource = Orders;
}
await this.DefaultGrid.ExportToExcelAsync(ExcelProperties);
}
}
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 15).Select(x => new Order()
{
OrderID = 1000 + x,
CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
ShipCountry = (new string[] { "Germany", "UK", "USA", "Italy", "France" })[new Random().Next(5)],
Freight = 2.1 * x,
OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
}).ToList();
}
public class Order
{
public int? OrderID { get; set; }
public string CustomerID { get; set; }
public string ShipCountry { get; set; }
public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
public double? Freight { get; set; }
}
}Add custom text in header/footer
You can add text and customize its styles either in the header or footer of an exported excel document by using the Header and Footer properties of the ExcelExportProperties class.
The following sample code demonstrates adding custom text and customizing its styles in the header section of the exported document,
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars
<SfDateRangePicker @ref="DateRange" TValue="DateTime?" StartDate="@StartValue" EndDate="@EndValue"></SfDateRangePicker>
<SfGrid ID="Grid" @ref="DefaultGrid" DataSource="@Orders" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "ExcelExport" })" AllowExcelExport="true" AllowPaging="true">
<GridEvents OnToolbarClick="ToolbarClickHandler" TValue="Order"></GridEvents>
<GridColumns>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="150"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" Format="d" Type="ColumnType.Date" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
</GridColumns>
</SfGrid>
@code{
private SfDateRangePicker<DateTime?> DateRange;
private SfGrid<Order> DefaultGrid;
public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }
public DateTime? StartValue { get; set; } = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 28);
public DateTime? EndValue { get; set; } = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 29);
public async Task ToolbarClickHandler(Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations.ClickEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Item.Id == "Grid_excelexport") //Id is combination of Grid's ID and itemname
{
ExcelExportProperties ExportProperties = new ExcelExportProperties ();
ExcelHeader header = new ExcelHeader();
header.HeaderRows = 2;
List<ExcelCell> cell = new List<ExcelCell>
{
new ExcelCell() { RowSpan= 2,ColSpan=5 , Value= "PO Report from " + DateRange.StartDate.ToString() + " to " + DateRange.EndDate.ToString() + " Vendor All", Style = new ExcelStyle() { Bold = true, FontSize = 13, Italic= true } }
};
List<ExcelRow> HeaderContent = new List<ExcelRow>
{
new ExcelRow() { Cells = cell, Index = 1 }
};
header.Rows = HeaderContent;
ExportProperties.Header = header;
await this.DefaultGrid.ExcelExport(ExportProperties);
}
}
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
{
OrderID = 1000 + x,
CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
Freight = 2.1 * x,
OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
}).ToList();
}
public class Order
{
public int? OrderID { get; set; }
public string CustomerID { get; set; }
public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
public double? Freight { get; set; }
}
}
Export template columns
The excel export provides an option to export template columns of the DataGrid by defining the IncludeTemplateColumn of ExcelExportProperties as true. In the following sample, the CustomerID column is a template column. The template values cannot be directly exported into the cells. To customize the values of the template columns in Excel file, you must use ExcelQueryCellInfoEvent.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids
<SfGrid ID="Grid" @ref="DefaultGrid" DataSource="@Orders" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "ExcelExport" })" AllowExcelExport="true" AllowPaging="true">
<GridEvents ExcelQueryCellInfoEvent="ExcelQueryCellInfoHandler" OnToolbarClick="ToolbarClickHandler" TValue="Order"></GridEvents>
<GridColumns>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="150">
<Template>
@{
var con = (context as Order);
}
<span>Mr.@con.CustomerID</span>
</Template>
</GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText="Order Date" Format="d" Type="ColumnType.Date" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
</GridColumns>
</SfGrid>
@code{
private SfGrid<Order> DefaultGrid;
public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }
public async Task ToolbarClickHandler(Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations.ClickEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Item.Id == "Grid_excelexport") // Id is the combination of Grid's ID and item name.
{
ExcelExportProperties ExportProperties = new ExcelExportProperties();
ExportProperties.IncludeTemplateColumn = true;
await this.DefaultGrid.ExportToExcelAsync(ExportProperties);
}
}
public void ExcelQueryCellInfoHandler(ExcelQueryCellInfoEventArgs<Order> args)
{
if (args.Column.Field == "CustomerID")
{
args.Cell.Value = "Mr." + args.Data.CustomerID;
}
}
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
{
OrderID = 1000 + x,
CustomerID = (new string[] { "Alfki", "Anantr", "Anton", "Blonp", "Bolid" })[new Random().Next(5)],
Freight = 2.1 * x,
OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
}).ToList();
}
public class Order
{
public int? OrderID { get; set; }
public string CustomerID { get; set; }
public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
public double? Freight { get; set; }
}
}Theme
The excel export provides an option to include theme for exported excel document.
To apply theme in exported Excel, define the theme in export properties.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids
<SfGrid ID="Grid" @ref="DefaultGrid" DataSource="@Orders" AllowSorting="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "ExcelExport" })" AllowExcelExport="true" AllowPaging="true">
<GridEvents OnToolbarClick="ToolbarClickHandler" TValue="Order"></GridEvents>

{
ExcelExportProperties ExcelProperties = new ExcelExportProperties();
ExcelTheme Theme = new ExcelTheme();
ExcelStyle ThemeStyle = new ExcelStyle()
{
FontName = "Segoe UI",
FontColor = "#666666",
FontSize = 20
};
Theme.Header = ThemeStyle;
Theme.Record = ThemeStyle;
Theme.Caption = ThemeStyle;
ExcelProperties.Theme = Theme;
await this.DefaultGrid.ExcelExport(ExcelProperties);

}).ToList();
}
public class Order
{
public int? OrderID { get; set; }
public string CustomerID { get; set; }
public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
public double? Freight { get; set; }
}
}NOTE
By default, material theme is applied to exported excel document.
Customizing the background color for a Grid in an exported Excel document
You can set the background color for a Grid in the exported document using the Theme property of ExcelExportProperties class.
This can be demonstrated using the following sample:
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids
<SfGrid ID="Grid" @ref="DefaultGrid" DataSource="@Orders" AllowSorting="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "ExcelExport" })" AllowExcelExport="true" AllowPaging="true">
<GridEvents OnToolbarClick="ToolbarClickHandler" TValue="Order"></GridEvents>

{
ExcelExportProperties ExcelProperties = new ExcelExportProperties();
ExcelTheme Theme = new ExcelTheme();
ExcelStyle ThemeStyle = new ExcelStyle()
{
BackColor = "#C67878"
};
Theme.Header = ThemeStyle;
Theme.Record = ThemeStyle;
Theme.Caption = ThemeStyle;
ExcelProperties.Theme = Theme;
await this.DefaultGrid.ExcelExport(ExcelProperties);
}
}
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
{
OrderID = 1000 + x,
CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
Freight = 2.1 * x,
OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
}).ToList();
}
public class Order
{
public int? OrderID { get; set; }
public string CustomerID { get; set; }
public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
public double? Freight { get; set; }
}
}
NOTE
Customizing the background color for a particular column in an exported Excel document
You can set the background color for a particular column in the exported document. This can be achieved by the ExcelQueryCellInfoEvent of the Grid.
This can be demonstrated using the following sample:
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids
<SfGrid ID="Grid" @ref="DefaultGrid" DataSource="@Orders" AllowSorting="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "ExcelExport" })" AllowExcelExport="true" AllowPaging="true">

ExportProperties.Workbook.Worksheets.Add();
// Define the Gridsheet index where Grid data must be exported.
ExportProperties.GridSheetIndex = 0;
// Export the document.
await this.DefaultGrid.ExcelExport(ExportProperties);
}
}Exporting grouped records
The excel export provides outline option for grouped records which hides the detailed data for better viewing.
In datagrid, we have provided the outline option for the exported document when the data’s are grouped.

}Limitations
Microsoft Excel permits up to seven nested levels in outlines. So that in the datagrid we can able to provide only up to seven nested levels and if it exceeds more than seven levels then the document will be exported without outline option. Refer the Microsoft Limitation
How to export the Grid with specific columns
You can export the Excel grid with specific columns instead of all columns which are defined in the Grid definition. To achieve this scenario by using Columns property of the ExcelExportProperties class.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids
<SfGrid ID="Grid" @ref="DefaultGrid" DataSource="@Orders" AllowExcelExport="true" AllowPaging="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "ExcelExport" })">
<GridEvents OnToolbarClick="OnToolbarClick" TValue="Order"></GridEvents>
<GridColumns>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="150"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" Format="d" Type="ColumnType.Date" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
</GridColumns>
</SfGrid>
@code{
private SfGrid<Order> DefaultGrid;
public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }
public async Task OnToolbarClick(Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations.ClickEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Item.Id == "Grid_excelexport") //Id is combination of Grid's ID and itemname
{
ExcelExportProperties ExportProperties = new ExcelExportProperties();
List<GridColumn> ExportColumns = new List<GridColumn>();
#pragma warning disable BL0005
ExportColumns.Add(new GridColumn() { Field = "CustomerID", HeaderText = "Customer Name", Width = "100" });
ExportColumns.Add(new GridColumn() { Field = "OrderDate", HeaderText = "Date", Width = "120", Format = "d" });
ExportColumns.Add(new GridColumn() { Field = "Freight", HeaderText = "Freight", Width = "120", Format = "C2", TextAlign = TextAlign.Right });
#pragma warning restore BL0005
ExportProperties.Columns = ExportColumns;
await this.DefaultGrid.ExcelExport(ExportProperties);
}
}
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 15).Select(x => new Order()
{
OrderID = 1000 + x,
CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
ShipCountry = (new string[] { "Germany", "UK", "USA", "Italy", "France" })[new Random().Next(5)],
Freight = 2.1 * x,
OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
}).ToList();
}
public class Order
{
public int? OrderID { get; set; }
public string CustomerID { get; set; }
public string ShipCountry { get; set; }
public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
public double? Freight { get; set; }
}
}Custom data source
Excel export provides an option to define the datasource dynamically before exporting. To export data dynamically, define it in the DataSource property of the ExcelExportProperties class.
The following sample code demonstrates dynamically modifying the data source before exporting it,
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids
<SfGrid ID="Grid" @ref="DefaultGrid" DataSource="@Orders" AllowExcelExport="true" AllowPaging="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "ExcelExport" })">
<GridEvents OnToolbarClick="OnToolbarClick" TValue="Order"></GridEvents>
<GridColumns>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="150"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" Format="d" Type="ColumnType.Date" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
</GridColumns>
</SfGrid>
@code{
private SfGrid<Order> DefaultGrid;
public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }
public async Task OnToolbarClick(Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations.ClickEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Item.Id == "Grid_excelexport") //Id is combination of Grid's ID and itemname
{
ExcelExportProperties ExcelProperties = new ExcelExportProperties();
ExcelProperties.DataSource = Orders;
await this.DefaultGrid.ExcelExport(ExcelProperties);
}
}
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 15).Select(x => new Order()
{
OrderID = 1000 + x,
CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
ShipCountry = (new string[] { "Germany", "UK", "USA", "Italy", "France" })[new Random().Next(5)],
Freight = 2.1 * x,
OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
}).ToList();
}
public class Order
{
public int? OrderID { get; set; }
public string CustomerID { get; set; }
public string ShipCountry { get; set; }
public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
public double? Freight { get; set; }
}
}Customizing columns
Excel export provides an option to define the columns dynamically before exporting. You can define the dynamic columns using Columns property of the ExcelExportProperties class.
The following sample code demonstrates dynamically adding ShipCountry column in the exported excel file,
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids
<SfGrid ID="Grid" @ref="DefaultGrid" DataSource="@Orders" AllowExcelExport="true" AllowPaging="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "ExcelExport" })">
<GridEvents OnToolbarClick="OnToolbarClick" TValue="Order"></GridEvents>
<GridColumns>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="150"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" Format="d" Type="ColumnType.Date" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
</GridColumns>
</SfGrid>
@code{
private SfGrid<Order> DefaultGrid;
public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }
public async Task OnToolbarClick(Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations.ClickEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Item.Id == "Grid_excelexport") //Id is combination of Grid's ID and itemname
{
ExcelExportProperties ExportProperties = new ExcelExportProperties();
var columns = await DefaultGrid.GetColumns(); //get the columns available in Grid
columns.Add(new GridColumn() { Field = "ShipCountry" }); //adding additional column
ExportProperties.Columns = columns;
await DefaultGrid.ExcelExport(ExportProperties);
}
}
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 15).Select(x => new Order()
{
OrderID = 1000 + x,
CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
ShipCountry = (new string[] { "Germany", "UK", "USA", "Italy", "France" })[new Random().Next(5)],
Freight = 2.1 * x,
OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
}).ToList();
}
public class Order
{
public int? OrderID { get; set; }
public string CustomerID { get; set; }
public string ShipCountry { get; set; }
public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
public double? Freight { get; set; }
}
