trying to export a dataset to excel directly. I'm repeating, it's a dataset to excel (NOT DATA GRID OR GRID VIEW TO EXCEL). The problem I face is formatting. I'm exporting the excel which has aroung 13 columns.
A column should be in dd/MM/yyyy 00:00:00 format. Time will always be 00:00:00. It is exporting in correct format only, but for example when the date is Jan 05, 2010, when it comes from database it shows correct format as05/01/2010 00:00:00. When it binds, it binds as 5/1/2010 00:00 which is not suppose to happen.
In C# ASP.NET 3.5 web application, I need to export multiple datatables (or a dataset) to an Excel 2007 file with multiple sheets, and then provide the user with 'Open/Save' dialog box, WITHOUT saving the Excel file on the web server.
I have used Excel Interop before. I have been reading that it's not efficient and is not the best approach to achieve this and there are more ways to do it, 2 of them being: 1) Converting data in datatables to an XML string that Excel understands 2) Using OPEN XML SDK 2.0.
It looks like OPEN XML SDK 2.0 is better, please let me know. Are there any other ways to do it? I don't want to use any third-party tools.
If I use OPEN XML SDK, it creates an excel file, right? I don't want to save it on the (Windows 2003) server hard drive (I don't want to use Server.MapPath, these Excel files are dynamically created, and they are not required on the server, once client gets them). I directly want to prompt the user to open/save it. I know how to do it when the 'XML string' approach is used.
I am usig ADO.NET to fetch a Dataset and then exporting the data to excel using Response.Write with response type set as excel. However when I run the application I am getting the following error in the browser."Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click theRefresh button, or try again later."Anybody has any idea on why do we get this error and any pointers to resolve this error? By the way the same code does works on another machine, it's just not working on few machines.
I was in need of exporting multiple tables in a DataSet to an Excel file with multiple sheets. I found a very good article in [URL].[URL] was able to successfully export each of my datatables in the dataset to excel worksheets. This solution worked for small number of rows. But when the data got larger I am consistently getting the system.outofmemoryexception. THis is because the code is using up the memory when creating excel.
I have created several applications now allowing the user to export to excel, word, pdf, etc. But this one is a little different, the client wants to have functionality that would directly export to excel as an attachment in an email. Basically my question is, can I create the excel file without storing it to server prior to attaching and sending out the email? Or do I have to save a copy on the server before I can attach it?
I've got an .rdlc report which I print from my .net app (C# Visual Studio 2005), where I use a RemoteReportPrinter object. I give it as parameters the server name, report name, report parameters, etc. Works fine. My question is, I would live to do an analagous export of that report to Excel. Set it up exactly the same, but have it export to Excel rather than print, probably using some other type of object than RemoteReportPrinter.
I'm exporting a Gridview to excel. I get all the gridview header and content in excel in addition to that i need to add a header text like report name in header of the excel sheet with line break in header.
I tried the solution in this link [URL] by adding
Table.Caption = "Header Text" Table.CaptionAlign = TableCaptionAlign.Top but i get error Reference to a non shared member requires an object reference.
Now the same code when I copy it in my project having masterpage . there is no compiler error but it is genereating excel file withno data in it but in fact there is data in the grid view at runtime.
I have a project in vb with a gridview in a multiview and i want to save in a workbook excel the gridview displayed data. I have read many articles but in the end i have downloaded the code from URL...and i adapted for my code. The problem is that when i press the ExporttoExcel button it's exporting only this...I cannot figure out that is the problem.
What I am thinking is this? Is it possible for me to upload the data from an excel file to dataset of my application first, so that the user can view the data in a gridview to review it first, before the user strike the save button, to save it in the database. So, that in case there is a problem, the gridview will high light all the data with an error. So the user can easily pull out the excel and correct the data before saving it in the database.
is there any way that i could export multiple tables already formatted into multiple excel sheets. I know how to export data to multiple sheets through dataset while looping through tables, rows and columns and then add styles.
But I really want to export formatted html tables each into seperate sheet
I've created a function that takes a datatable and exports it to excel by creating a Table.
When the file exported excel says "this file is in a different format than it's extension, do you wnat to open it anyway?". I'd like to get rid of this message if I can. and...There is an extra row at the top of the the excel file (row 0) and it's empty.
I have multiple gridviews to be exported to excel. 1 gridview per worksheet.
How to do that ? ( or in general how to write an html string to a worksheet )
This is to be done in asp.net , server side.
I can create multiple worksheets via epplus.codeplex.com nicely, but it works on cell level. I could export DataTable, but how to export Gridview's HTML ?
I've been working on this for a while and everything that I have read seems to tell me to use the same setup. I have been able to export the data to an xls file on my local C drive but that won't work when hosted on the server as I'll want users to export their data to their local machines as well... I guess the issue I'm having (or at least what I think am having) has to do with my response.end() function. I'll give you my code that works and the one that doesn't... In the end they will both do the same thing...Here is the code I've been playing with for my button:
[Code]....
Now here is where it will at least save on my local drive via a button in my drop down menu:
[Code]....
I need to prompt the user to save the file to a location and perhaps be able to name the file etc
On two of my web forms I have the ability to export a gridview to an excel file. On my local machine. it works. So when I click an image button it gives me the option of opening or saving a gridview as Excel.
However, when I run on the web server. It does not give me the option to open or save, it just opens the gridview as an excel document when the button is clicked.
Even stranger: I have this running on two separate forms. On one form when it opens the gridview as an Excel file it includes a tool bar, so that If a user wishes they could do a 'file', 'save'; However the other one does not have a tool bar?
Ideally I would like them to get the prompt like on the local machine, to open or save.
I have a .rdlc report created in Visual Studio and Upon executing, I wish to have the user be able to export the resulting data to Excel. How would I go about doing this
but not working properly and on opening the file it gives following error "Excel cannot open the file 'ChangeRequestList[2].xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file"

The problem im finding is how am i able to send all the charts to word and format them to put multiple on one page and formatted to certain locations. Is there a way to do this or will i be fored to send them to word and then open that document and organize them myself.?
I am binding data from a dataset to a grid and exporting data from the grid to an excel.if the the number of items in the grid is greater than 50000,an error message is displayed.
So i want to split the data and display it in different worksheets in excel.(Am working in a web application)
using this code for exporting to excel
gvExcel.DataSource = DTS; gvExcel.DataBind(); Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename= filename.xls"); Response.ContentType = "application/excel"; StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw); gvExcel.RenderControl(htw); // Style is added dynamically Response.Write(style); Response.Write(sw.ToString()); Response.End();
I have a asp.net page that generates a report. For better or for worse, the entire thing is generated using nested tables. I am able to export the page to excel, however I lose all my formatting (can't set column widths, etc). Is there a way to handle this? I'm open to adding any goofy MS Office -specific tags that are required to the html side of it.
If this isn't feasible and if anyone has any other ideas, the requirement is that users need a report that:
a) They can manually touch up with some personalization / area-specific data
b) Needs to be hide/show columns based on user's location
