Hi everyone,
- Is there a way that I can select a bunch of rows or cells from a SilverLight DataGrid and Copy them for pasting into e.g. excel?
The DataGrid doesn't seem to have this functionality built in!
Thanks a lot

A:
Silverlight uses a vector rendering system. The text is not the same as text in Notepad- it's being rendered as a vector image. You can't highlight text in Silverlight or Flash.
If you're writing the app, offer a "download Excel file" button that redirects to an Excel file generator.

Silverlight 3 adds a "FileSaveDialog" control that can be used for this functionality.

I would check out this link - seems fairly useful http://weblogs.asp.net/manishdalal/archive/2008/11/12/cross-browser-copy-and-paste-in-datagrid-with-excel-support-part-1.aspx

Are you looking to do this programmatically? If so, then you are out of luck with Silverlight 3. Silverlight 4 is supposed to add this functionality.

Silverlight 4 is great, Ctrl-A a datagrid, copy and paste it into Excel.
You can even customize what gets copied using ClipboardContentBinding, which is quite useful if you are using a TemplateColumn.
