Can I use export mode = InBrowser and get it to open up in a new browser? It keeps opening up in the same browser in EI.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Sorry, I ment to say open up in a new tab. The only browser I support is IE.
Hello Abby,
Thank you for posting in our community.
Currently, there is no property that could be set and export the document to a different browser tab.
However, what I can suggest is to create an additional aspx page. On this new page there are going to be an additional copy of the WebDataGrid as well as WebDocumentExporter with ExportMode set to "InBrowser" . On your primary page when the export button is clicked the page could be redirected to the second aspx page where the grid is going to be immediately exported(without the need of a button click). For example:
//primary aspx page with the export button - Default.aspx protected void btnExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.Write("<script>window.open('Default2.aspx','_blank');</script>"); } //second aspx page - Default2.aspx protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.WebDataGrid1.DataSource = populateGrid(); Report report = new Report(); this.WebDocumentExporter.Export(WebDataGrid1, report); }
//primary aspx page with the export button - Default.aspx
protected void btnExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Write("<script>window.open('Default2.aspx','_blank');</script>");
}
//second aspx page - Default2.aspx
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.WebDataGrid1.DataSource = populateGrid();
Report report = new Report();
this.WebDocumentExporter.Export(WebDataGrid1, report);
I also made a small sampel project illustrating my suggestion and I am attaching it for your reference. For my test I am using version 13.1.20131.2069 of NetAdvantage.
