Using below code steps to get the basic excel styles in RadGrid Exporting data to Excel.

1. Add the event in the radgrid like below:

OnExcelMLExportStylesCreated="rgdReport_OnExcelMLExportStylesCreated"

2. Add the event in code behind for:

protected void rgdReport_OnExcelMLExportStylesCreated(object source, GridExportExcelMLStyleCreatedArgs e)
{
   // To set the Excel cell borders style

orderStylesCollection borders = new BorderStylesCollection();

BorderStyles borderStyle = null;

for (int i = 1; i <= 4; i++)

{

borderStyle = new BorderStyles();

borderStyle.PositionType = (PositionType)i;

borderStyle.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

borderStyle.LineStyle = LineStyle.Continuous;

borderStyle.Weight = 1.0;

borders.Add(borderStyle);

}

// styles have to set for export excel

foreach (StyleElement style in e.Styles){

//For Header style - background color

if (style.Id == "headerStyle"){

style.InteriorStyle.Pattern = InteriorPatternType.Solid;

style.InteriorStyle.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Gray;

}

//For alternate row style - background color

if (style.Id == "alternatingItemStyle" || style.Id == "alternatingPriceItemStyle" || style.Id == "alternatingPercentItemStyle" || style.Id == "alternatingDateItemStyle"){

style.InteriorStyle.Pattern = InteriorPatternType.Solid;

style.InteriorStyle.Color = System.Drawing.Color.LightGray;

}

if

(

style.Id.Contains("itemStyle") || style.Id == "priceItemStyle" || style.Id == "percentItemStyle" || style.Id == "dateItemStyle") {

style.InteriorStyle.Pattern = InteriorPatternType.Solid;

style.InteriorStyle.Color = System.Drawing.Color.White;

}

// for each cell border styles

foreach (BorderStyles border in borders)

{

style.Borders.Add(border);

}

// Each cell text wrapping

style.AlignmentElement.Attributes.Add("ss:WrapText", "1");

}

}

3. From above code we can get below styles:

  1. n excel export data get borders
  2. Export data can wrap on each cell
  3. Export data alternative rows colors
  4. Export data header styles
