ASP.NET Spreadsheet - Enhancements (v19.1)

In our most recent update (v19.1), we added two major enhancements to our ASP.NET Spreadsheet (the features described herein are available for the WebForms, MVC, Core, and Bootstrap versions of the DevExpress Spreadsheet control).

Client-Side API Enhancements

We've added a new client-side Print command so you can easily invoke the browser's Print dialog.

    <script>
        function onPrintButtonClick(s, e) {
            spreadsheet.Print("_self");
        }
    </script>
    <dx:ASPxButton runat="server" Text="Print document" AutoPostBack="false" Image-IconID="actions_print_16x16devav">
        <ClientSideEvents Click="onPrintButtonClick" />
    </dx:ASPxButton>

If the browser does not support printing, you can export your workbook to PDF. To learn more about client-side printing, please take a look at this blog post.

Culture-Specific Format

The Format Cells dialog allows you to apply culture-specific formatting to date and numeric values.

Сulture-specific formatting is applied to a date or numeric cell values based on the current culture (locale). Use the following steps to change the default locale for the Date values:

• Select a cell or cell range to format
• Right click on the selection and choose the "Format Cells" menu item
• Click the Date category on the left side of the dialog
• Using the "Locale" combo-box, choose a country or region that uses the required date format
• Select the required date format. The Sample region on the dialog will display a preview of the formatted value
• Click "OK" to apply the changes

You can also change the default locale for Time, Currency and Accounting type values.
