Grid View convert to pdf using devexpress ASPXGridViewExporter tool

Is there any way I can convert an Asp.net grid view to PDF format, or any other format, using the Devexpress ASPXGridViewExporter tool without converting the existing gridview to Devexpress ASPXGridView?

You can do that, but for exporting you need to go through a round-about method.

First, you need to have the datasourceID which you are binding to your ASP gridview. You can follow the steps for export; The following code should be written on Export Button Click.

        ASPxGridView grd = new ASPxGridView(); //create instance of aspxgridview
        grd.AutoGenerateColumns = true; //this should be set true so that automatically data gets bind
        grd.ID = "Test"; //give any id
        grd.DataSource = objs; //Datasource Id - could be objectdatasource
        grd.KeyFieldName = "TestField";  //keyfield name in the datasource
        this.Controls.Add(grd);             
        grd.DataBind();

        ASPxGridViewExporter1.GridViewID = "Test";
        ASPxGridViewExporter1.WritePdfToResponse();
        this.Controls.Remove(grd); //would remove the temporarily created instance of devex grid
