How to Export Data to Excel from an ASP.NET Application + Avoid the File Format Differ Prompt

 ExportToExcel class contains public scoped method Export, which converts data passed in the form of datatable to excel.


public static class ExportToExcel

{

///

/// This Method takes DataTable and Page as input parameter and

/// renders the converted excel data to given page instance.

///


/// DataTable instance

/// The Sytem.Web.UI.Page instance.

public static void Export(string fileName, GridView gv, string title)

{

HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();

HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", string.Format("attachment; filename={0}", fileName));

HttpContext.Current.Response.Charset = "";

//HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/ms-excel";

HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.xls";

using (StringWriter sw = new StringWriter())

{

HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);

try

{

// render the table into the htmlwriter

RenderGrid(gv).RenderControl(htw);

// render the htmlwriter into the response

HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("" + title + "");

HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(sw.ToString());

HttpContext.Current.Response.End();

}

finally

{

htw.Close();

}

}

}
