Data Grid Export Service is a separately installed add-on for QPR UI that enables to export Data Grids contents as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word and PDF documents. This page describes how the Data Grid Export Service is installed. In addition, when using QPR UI Data Grids, export buttons need to be enabled in the data grid settings.

  2. Unzip the installation package to a temporary folder.
  3. Open Configuration.ps1 into text editor and modify the values according to your system and desired installation type. With the $customAppPoolCredentials setting you can define whether the application pool will be run as a user defined in $appPoolUser setting (password for the account will be requested during the installation).
  4. Launch Microsoft PowerShell as an Administrator and navigate to the folder containing the deployment files.
  5. Run .\DeployGridExportService.ps1 and input the application pool user password when requested (if you chose to use custom credentials).

  1. Create folder C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SyncfusionGridExport.
  2. Download the latest installation package (link on the right).
  3. Unzip the installation package to a temporary folder.
  4. The unzipped install package contains the QprGridExportAddon.zip file. Unzip the contents of that file to another temporary folder.
  5. From this other temporary folder, copy the contents of the Content\website\ folder to the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SyncfusionGridExport folder. After this the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SyncfusionGridExport folder should contain the following:
    • Folder named bin.
    • Files named Global.asx and Web.config.
  6. Open Internet Information Service (IIS) Manager.
  7. Select Application Pools > Add Application Pool..., and give the application pool a name.

  • Excel: http(s)://<HOSTNAME>/SyncfusionGridExport/excelExport
  • Word: http(s)://<HOSTNAME>/SyncfusionGridExport/wordExport
  • PDF: http(s)://<HOSTNAME>/SyncfusionGridExport/pdfExport

where <HOSTNAME> is the QPR UI server name.
