Add an ExportToXlsx option into the native RadGridView exporting.  It has been done for WPF (http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/radgridview/export/export-xlsx) - why not WinForms.  This would avoid the pain of having to implement the export using RadSpreadProcessing.

Please refer to the attached project.

Workakround: call the BeginEdit method in the RadGridView.Click event.

To reproduce:

public class Item
{
    public int Id { get; set; }

    public string Name { get; set; }

    public DateTime Date { get; set; }

    public Item(int id, string name, DateTime date)
    {
        this.Id = id;
        this.Name = name;
        this.Date = date;
    }
}
public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    List<Item> items = new List<Item>();
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        items.Add(new Item(i,"Item" + i,DateTime.Now.AddHours(i)));
    }
    this.radGridView1.DataSource = items;
    this.radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB");
    this.radGridView1.Columns["Date"].ExcelExportFormatString = "M/d/yyyy h:mm tt";
    this.radGridView1.Columns["Date"].ExcelExportType = DisplayFormatType.Custom;

    GridViewSpreadExport spreadExporter = new GridViewSpreadExport(this.radGridView1);
    spreadExporter.ExportVisualSettings = true;
    SpreadExportRenderer exportRenderer = new SpreadExportRenderer();
    string fileName = @"..\..\exportedFile" + DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString().Replace(":", "_") + ".xlsx";
    spreadExporter.RunExport(fileName, exportRenderer);
    Process.Start(fileName);
}

To reproduce:

GridViewImageColumn imageColumn = new GridViewImageColumn();
imageColumn.Name = "ImageColumn";
imageColumn.FieldName = "ImageColumn";
imageColumn.HeaderText = "Picture";
radGridView1.MasterTemplate.Columns.Add(imageColumn);

List<classBinding> databinding = new List<classBinding>();
for (int i = 0; i < 35000; i++)
{
    databinding.Add(new classBinding()
    {
        ImageColumn = Properties.Resources.Alarm2, 
    });
}
radGridView1.DataSource = databinding;

 public class classBinding
        {
            public System.Drawing.Bitmap ImageColumn { get; set; } 
        }

For now you can manually add the columns to the ExcelFilteredColumns collection when the filters are added in code:

FilterDescriptor fd = new FilterDescriptor("Value", Telerik.WinControls.Data.FilterOperator.IsEqualTo, "B");
fd.IsFilterEditor = true;
radGridView1.FilterDescriptors.Add(fd);

this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate.ExcelFilteredColumns.Add( this.radGridView1.Columns[0] );   

"High Performance with RadGridView and Virtual Mode including Filtering, Sorting and Grouping" example is not working for RadGridView Q3 2015. When I click on the Column header for sorting ( same thing for grouping and filtering)  and I m getting exception "Sorting operation is not supported in VirtualMode.".  Same sample is working for Q3 2014. Following is the URL for the sample 
http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/winforms/gridview/details/high-performance-with-radgridview-and-virtual-mode-including-filtering-sorting-and-grouping

To reproduce:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.radGridView1.Columns.Add("Col1");
    this.radGridView1.Rows.Add("word \u00AD word");
    this.radGridView1.Rows.Add("word - word");
}

Workaround: replace "\u00AD" with "-"

private void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    e.CellElement.Text = e.CellElement.Text.Replace("\u00AD", "-");
}

To reproduce: use the following code snippet and click the button twice.

private DataTable GetTable01()
{
    DataTable table = new DataTable();
    table.Columns.Add("Dosage", typeof(int));
    table.Columns.Add("Drug", typeof(string));
    table.Columns.Add("Patient", typeof(string));
    table.Columns.Add("Date", typeof(DateTime));

    // Here we add five DataRows.
    table.Rows.Add(25, "Indocin", "David", DateTime.Now);
    table.Rows.Add(50, "Enebrel", "Sam", DateTime.Now);
    table.Rows.Add(10, "Hydralazine", "Christoff", DateTime.Now);
    table.Rows.Add(21, "Combivent", "Janet", DateTime.Now);
    table.Rows.Add(100, "Dilantin", "Melanie", DateTime.Now);

    return table;
}

private void button1_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DataTable table01 = GetTable01();

    radGridView1.Rows.Clear(); 

    radGridView1.DataSource = table01;
}

WORKAROUND I:
this.radGridView1.DataError += radGridView1_DataError;

private void radGridView1_DataError(object sender, GridViewDataErrorEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Exception is ArgumentException && e.Exception.Message == "Cannot clear this list.")
    {
        this.radGridView1.BeginUpdate();

        while (this.radGridView1.Rows.Count > 0)
        {
            this.radGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(0);
        }

        this.radGridView1.EndUpdate();
    }
}

WORKAROUND II:
 while (this.radGridView1.Rows.Count > 0)
{               
     this.radGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(this.radGridView1.Rows.Count - 1);
}

To reproduce:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.radGridView1.CellFormatting+=radGridView1_CellFormatting;
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    dt.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
    dt.Columns.Add("Name",typeof(string));
    for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
    {
        dt.Rows.Add(i,"Item"+i);
    }
    this.radGridView1.DataSource = dt;
    this.radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
}

private void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    e.Row.Height = 40;
}

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     this.radGridView1.TableElement.ScrollToRow(this.radGridView1.Rows.Count - 1);
}

Workaround: instead of using the CellFormatting event to set the Row.Height, you can set the TableElement.RowHeight property.

To reproduce: 

1. Add a grid to a form. 

2. Set its SplitMode to vertical or horizontal. 

3. Set its SynchronizeCurrentRowInSplitMode to false. 

You will notice that both grids are synchronized. 

Workaround: Add two RadgridViews in a RadSplitContainer with two split panels and use two separate data sources. 

For example: 

List<string> ds = new List<string>();

grid1.DataSource = ds; 

grid2.DataSource = ds.ToArray();

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add a GridViewDateTimeColumn to a grid.

2. Add rows where one or more rows should contain null as the columns value.

3. Sort the grid by the date time column. 



WORKAROUND:

Create a custom RadGridDateTimeConverter and assign it as the column's date type converter:

public class CustomRadGridDateTimeConverter : RadGridDateTimeConverter
{
    public CustomRadGridDateTimeConverter(GridViewDateTimeColumn column)
        : base(column)
    { }

    public override object ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, object value, Type destinationType)
    {
        if (destinationType == typeof(DateTime) && value == null)
        {
            return DateTime.MinValue;
        }

        return base.ConvertTo(context, culture, value, destinationType);
    }
}



this.radGridView1.Columns["DateTime"].DataTypeConverter = new CustomRadGridDateTimeConverter(this.radGridView1.Columns["DateTime"] as GridViewDateTimeColumn);

To reproduce:
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    this.radGridView1.AllowAddNewRow = false;
    this.radGridView1.TableElement.RowHeight = 40;

    this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;        
    GridViewTextBoxColumn id = new GridViewTextBoxColumn("ID");
    id.IsVisible = false;
    GridViewTextBoxColumn parentID = new GridViewTextBoxColumn("ParentID");
    parentID.IsVisible = false;
    GridViewTextBoxColumn name = new GridViewTextBoxColumn("Name");
    GridViewDateTimeColumn date = new GridViewDateTimeColumn("Date");
    GridViewTextBoxColumn type = new GridViewTextBoxColumn("Type");
    GridViewTextBoxColumn size = new GridViewTextBoxColumn("Size");
    size.FormatString = "{0} MB";
    radGridView1.Columns.AddRange(new GridViewDataColumn[]
    {
        id,
        parentID,
        name,
        date,
        type,
        size
    });

    this.radGridView1.Relations.AddSelfReference(this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate, "ID", "ParentID");

    radGridView1.CellValueChanged += radGridView1_CellValueChanged;
    fillData();
}



void radGridView1_CellValueChanged(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    fillData();
}

private void fillData()
{     
    radGridView1.Rows.Clear();
   
    radGridView1.Rows.Add(1, null, "Program Files", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-100), "Folder", 5120);
    radGridView1.Rows.Add(2, 1, "Visual Studio 2010", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-100), "Folder", 3220);
    radGridView1.Rows.Add(3, 2, "bin", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-100), "Folder", 3220);
    radGridView1.Rows.Add(4, 2, "READEME.txt", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-100), "Text Document", 3);
    radGridView1.Rows.Add(100, null, "Test.txt", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-10), "Text File", 0);

    radGridView1.Rows.Add(5, 1, "Telerik RadControls", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-10), "Folder", 3120);
    radGridView1.Rows.Add(6, 5, "Telerik UI for Winforms", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-10), "Folder", 101);
    radGridView1.Rows.Add(7, 5, "Telerik UI for Silverlight", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-10), "Folder", 123);
    radGridView1.Rows.Add(8, 5, "Telerik UI for WPF", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-10), "Folder", 221);
    radGridView1.Rows.Add(9, 5, "Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-10), "Folder", 121);

    radGridView1.Rows.Add(10, 1, "Microsoft Office 2010", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-120), "Folder", 1230);
    radGridView1.Rows.Add(11, 10, "Microsoft Word 2010", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-120), "Folder", 1230);
    radGridView1.Rows.Add(12, 10, "Microsoft Excel 2010", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-120), "Folder", 1230);
    radGridView1.Rows.Add(13, 10, "Microsoft Powerpoint 2010", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-120), "Folder", 1230);

    radGridView1.Rows.Add(14, 1, "Debug Diagnostic Tools v1.0", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-400), "Folder", 2120);
    radGridView1.Rows.Add(15, 1, "Designer's 3D Tools", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-500), "Folder", 1120);
    radGridView1.Rows.Add(16, 1, "Communication", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-700), "Folder", 120);
}

Then start the application edit a value and click another cell.

Workaround:
- Enclose the rows addition within Begin/End update block.

There should be a Enum (Left, Right, None) property of the Expander Column indicating whether the position of the expander column should be left right or none.  This would be especially important during pinning activities meaning no matter how many columns are being pinned and repositioned in the pinned area of the grid, it would always remain on the left, right or none.

BindingList<Item> items = new BindingList<Item>();

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
    {
        items.Add(new Item(i % 4, "Item" + i, "Type" + i % 2));
    }
    this.radGridView1.DataSource = items;
    this.radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
}

public class Item
{
    public int Id { get; set; }

    public string Name { get; set; }

    public string Type { get; set; }

    {
        this.Id = id;
        this.Name = name;
        this.Type = type;
    }
}

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    items.Insert(0, new Item(2, "Test", "Type0"));
}

WORKAROUND I:

GridViewSynchronizationService.SuspendEvent(this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate, KnownEvents.CurrentChanged);
Item item = new Item(2, "Test", "Type0");
items.Insert(0, item);
GridViewSynchronizationService.ResumeEvent(this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate, KnownEvents.CurrentChanged);

foreach (GridViewRowInfo row in this.radGridView1.Rows)
{
    if (row.DataBoundItem == item)
    {
        this.radGridView1.CurrentRow = row;

        break;
    }
}



WORKAROUND II:

this.radGridView1.Rows.CollectionChanged += Rows_CollectionChanged;
this.radGridView1.GroupExpanding+=radGridView1_GroupExpanding;

List<GridViewRowInfo> expandedGroups = new List<GridViewRowInfo>();

private void radGridView1_GroupExpanding(object sender, GroupExpandingEventArgs e)

    return parent == r.Parent;
}

The conditional formatting collection get deleted after closing the property builder.

To reproduce :

Add a gridview with a datasource.
Open property builder
Select a column
Advance -> ConditionalFormattingObjectList
Add a expression, set a name
Press Ok

If you click the ConditionalFormattingObjectList, you can see the expression

If you click close the Property Builder, the list is not saved when you open it again.

When you use a custom GroupComparer for the MasterTemplate, grouping is performed successfully for the first time. However, if you remove all groups and perform grouping again for the same columns, the grid behavior is not as expected: you will notice groups mismatching or duplication. Here is a sample code snippet which incorrect behavior is illustrated on the attached gif file:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    dt.Columns.Add("Reference");
    dt.Columns.Add("Test Case");
    dt.Columns.Add("ChBW");
    dt.Columns.Add("Voltage");
    dt.Columns.Add("Environmental Conditions");
    dt.Columns.Add("RadioAccessTechnology");

    dt.Rows.Add("4.2.1", "E-Utran FDD...", "10", "C Nominal-2", "T Nominal - V Nominal", "E-UTRAN Only");
    dt.Rows.Add("5.2.1", "E-Utran FDD...", "3", "C Nominal-1", "T Nominal - V Nominal", "E-UTRAN Only");
    dt.Rows.Add("14.2.1", "E-Utran FDD...", "1", "C Nominal-3", "T Nominal - V Nominal", "E-UTRAN Only");
    dt.Rows.Add("2.2.1", "E-Utran FDD...", "4", "C Nominal-2", "T Nominal - V Nominal", "E-UTRAN Only");
    dt.Rows.Add("7.2.1", "E-Utran FDD...", "12", "C Nominal-1", "T Nominal - V Nominal", "E-UTRAN Only");
    dt.Rows.Add("2.2.1", "E-Utran FDD...", "2", "C Nominal-3", "T Nominal - V Nominal", "E-UTRAN Only");

    this.radGridControlSelection.DataSource = dt;
    this.radGridControlSelection.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;

    this.radGridControlSelection.MasterTemplate.GroupComparer = new GroupComparer();
}

}

To reproduce: use the following code snippet:
Sub New()
    InitializeComponent()

    Me.RadGridView1.EnableFiltering = True
    Me.RadGridView1.ShowHeaderCellButtons = True

    Dim dt As New DataTable
    dt.Columns.Add("Id", GetType(Integer))
    dt.Columns.Add("Name", GetType(String))
    dt.Columns.Add("Type", GetType(String))
    dt.Columns.Add("Active", GetType(Boolean))

    Dim typeList As New List(Of String)
    typeList.Add("REFERRAL")
    typeList.Add("EMPLOYEE")
    typeList.Add("Type3")
    typeList.Add("Type4")

    Dim rand As New Random
    For index = 1 To 10
        dt.Rows.Add(index, "Name" & index, typeList(rand.Next(0, typeList.Count)),If(index mod 2=0, True,false))
    Next

    Me.RadGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = False
    Dim decimalColumn As New GridViewDecimalColumn("ID")
    decimalColumn.FieldName = "Id"
    RadGridView1.MasterTemplate.Columns.Add(decimalColumn)

    Dim textBoxColumn As New GridViewTextBoxColumn("Name")
    textBoxColumn.FieldName = "Name"
    RadGridView1.MasterTemplate.Columns.Add(textBoxColumn)

    Dim supplierColumn As GridViewComboBoxColumn = New GridViewComboBoxColumn("Type")
    supplierColumn.FieldName = "Type"
    supplierColumn.DataSource = typeList
    Me.RadGridView1.Columns.Add(supplierColumn)

    Dim checkBoxColumn As New GridViewCheckBoxColumn("Active")
    checkBoxColumn.FieldName = "Active"
    RadGridView1.MasterTemplate.Columns.Add(checkBoxColumn)

    Me.RadGridView1.DataSource = dt
    Me.RadGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill

End Sub

Private Sub RadButton1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RadButton1.Click

    Dim activeFilter As New FilterDescriptor()
    activeFilter.PropertyName = "Active"
    activeFilter.Operator = FilterOperator.IsEqualTo
    activeFilter.Value = True

    Dim typeFilter As New CompositeFilterDescriptor()
    typeFilter.FilterDescriptors.Add(New FilterDescriptor("Type", FilterOperator.IsEqualTo, "EMPLOYEE"))
    typeFilter.FilterDescriptors.Add(New FilterDescriptor("Type", FilterOperator.IsEqualTo, "REFERRAL"))
    typeFilter.LogicalOperator = FilterLogicalOperator.Or

    Dim overallFilterDescriptor As New CompositeFilterDescriptor()
    'overallFilterDescriptor.PropertyName = "Type"
    'overallFilterDescriptor.IsFilterEditor = True

    overallFilterDescriptor.FilterDescriptors.Add(typeFilter)
    overallFilterDescriptor.FilterDescriptors.Add(activeFilter)
    overallFilterDescriptor.LogicalOperator = FilterLogicalOperator.And

    Me.RadGridView1.FilterDescriptors.Add(overallFilterDescriptor)
End Sub


Run the project and click the button. You will see that the filter button is not orange indicating that there is applied filter. Additionally, the "Clear filter" option is disabled and the user is not allowed to see the entire data any more.

Workaround: set the overall CompositeFilterDescriptor.PropertyName to a specific column and the IsFilterEditor property to true. Thus, you will be allowed to clear the filter from this column.

i would like to customize the grid like below attached screen shot,is it possible using telerik win forms (rad grid view), if possible can you please send me sample code for that, if not possible can you suggest me alternate solution  for this requirement.

To reproduce:
- Bind the grid to a data source and set its RightToLeftProperty to true.

Note: use Visual Studio 2008 under Windows XP with .NET 2.0

Workaround:
Private Sub RadGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs)
 
    If RadGridView1.RightToLeft = Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.Yes Then
        e.CellElement.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft
    End If
End Sub
