Use the LoadClientLayout property to restore the grid layout. To save a grid layout, use the SaveClientLayout() method. You can specify what information on the layout can be saved by using options provided by the SettingsCookies property.
To apply a custom layout to an exported document, call the LoadClientLayout method in the BeforeExport event handler. In this case, the layout settings affect the exported document content only and do not affect the current grid UI.
<dx:ASPxGridView ID="grid" runat="server" DataSourceID="CustomerReportsDataSource"
OnBeforeExport="grid_BeforeExport"/>
protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// Save the default grid layout.
Session["layout"] = grid.SaveClientLayout();
}
protected void grid_BeforeExport(object sender, DevExpress.Web.ASPxGridBeforeExportEventArgs e) {
// Load the default layout.
grid.LoadClientLayout(Session["layout"].ToString());
}
Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
' Save the default grid layout.
Session("layout") = grid.SaveClientLayout()
End Sub
Protected Sub grid_BeforeExport(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DevExpress.Web.ASPxGridBeforeExportEventArgs)
' Load the default layout.
grid.LoadClientLayout(Session("layout").ToString())
End Sub
