Simple WebExcelExporter failing... error is internal

5368

Rob Hudson posted over 13 years ago

When I export a WebDataGrid that contains only a couple of thousand records, the export works fine. The export works for most lists. However, this particular set of data that I am trying to export has 6000 records, and results in an error traced to somewhere internal to the WebExcelExporter

The WebDataGrid is visible on the page, being populated in Page_Load by a dataset that is maintained in session cache. Both elements are next to each other in the DOM, within the same WebSplitterPane which is within an UpdatePanel.

I am using version 11.1.

Here are the definitions:

    <ig:WebExcelExporter ID="WebExcelExporter1" runat="server" 
        DownloadName="StreetList" DataExportMode="AllDataInDataSource">

    </ig:WebDataGrid>

Here is the VB.Net codebehind for the export:

   Protected Sub btnExporttoExcel_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExporttoExcel.Click
        WebExcelExporter1.Export(WebDataGrid1)
    End Sub

Here is the error:

Two additional notes.

The error is specific to only one data list. All other lists export without error (though none are as large as this list).

I wanted to rule out that something in the data was causing the error, so I did the following

I turned on Paging, and set page size to 1000

I turned off Virtual Scrolling

I set the DataExportMode data mode to "DataInGridOnly"

This results in 7 pages of data.

I went through each page, and exported it to Excel. Every page exported successfully.

I changed the DataExportMode back to "AllDataInDataSource".

I tried the export again, and the export failed with the above error.

Theoretically, the above process would rule out that anything with the data was causing the error. However... on a whim...

I set the page size to 2000, resulting in 4 pages of data.

I set the DataExportMode data mode to "DataInGridOnly"

I ran the export on each of the 4 pages.

The export fails consistently when exporting the first page

The export succeeds consistently when exporting pages 2-4.

Ok... so we have discovered that page size impacts the error, but not on all pages... So, I tried some different page sizes, and here is what I discovered:

If I set the page size to any value <=1216, then all pages export consistently.

If the page size is set to any value >=1217, then the first page fails to export consistently with the above error.

The error never occurs with any other list of data, no matter what the page size or DataExportMode are set to.

So, this begs the question... What is the data in rows 1215-1220?

Here is a screenshot:

Looking at the raw data from SQL, there is nothing unique about these rows. The empty values in the columns to the right are nulls. There are two hidden columns, but both of those columns have only nulls or empty strings in them.

Hi Rob,

I wonder if this a problem with the exporter or the Excel Engine. From the stack trace, it may be the latter. I have two requests. Is it possible to filter out the data so that just those rows in question are in the grid? Then try to export them. And if those are the trouble rows, the only way we may be able to debug this issue is if we can get to reproduce it over here. If you can get code to create identical data in a DataTable per say and the issue persists, that would be awesome if you could get that to use. Or even a small website with just that data. Let me know.

regards,
David Young

Mike,

I'm having nearly the same issue with the Winforms version of the Excel exporter. Is it likely that this is the the same, and, if so, can I expect a fix in the next SR of the Winforms package as well?

Thanks in advance. Stack trace below:

Hello Team,

I am also getting the same exception in Windows version of the grid control. Here are the details.

Only one particular data set is affected.

ALL other data sets on the same database are working fine!

The affected data set works fine if we work with some other data set and come back and work with this one.

Similar data sets from other databases are working fine.

Now I would like to know

Is it confirmed that this is a defect on Infragistics grid control?

If so, is it fixed?

Please share with me the release which includes this defect.

I would be very thankful if you could reply these details asap.

Thank you.

Ganesh.
