Forms Data Controls :: Converting A GridView To Excel Or PDF
Feb 3, 2011
I need to open a GridView as either an Excel or a PDF file. The excell prodecure is working fine, but I'm getting a: File does not begin with '%PDF-' error when trying to use the PDF file. The code is as follows:
Protected Sub EMButton_Click(ByVal sender
As Object,
ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs)
Handles EMButton.Click
'Save the table to an excel File
Dim StringWriter
As New System.IO.StringWriter()
Dim html As
New System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(StringWriter)
Dim form As HtmlForm =
New HtmlForm()
Page.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Page.Response.Charset = ""
Page.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache)
Page.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=FullDateReport.xls")
Page.EnableViewState = False
form.Attributes("runat") =
"server"
Controls.Add(form)
form.Controls.Add(GridView1)
form.RenderControl(html)
Response.Write(StringWriter.ToString())
Response.End()
End Sub
[this doesn't work]
Protected Sub PDButton_Click(ByVal sender
As Object,
ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs)
Handles PDButton.Click
'Save the table to PDF Format
Dim StringWriter
As New System.IO.StringWriter()
Dim html As
New System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(StringWriter)
Dim form As HtmlForm =
New HtmlForm()
Page.Response.ContentType = "application/PDF"
Page.Response.Charset = ""
Page.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache)
Page.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=FullDateReport.pdf")
Page.EnableViewState = False
form.Attributes("runat") =
"server"
Controls.Add(form)
form.Controls.Add(GridView1)
form.RenderControl(html)
Response.Write(StringWriter.ToString())
Response.End()
End Sub
I've tried using:
Page.Response.Clear()
Page.Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.Unicode
Page.Response.BinaryWrite(Encoding.Unicode.GetPreamble())
Page.Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", html.ToString().Length.ToString())
With the PDF procedure, but still couldn't get it to work. I've also tried using inline instead of attachment in the header.
I want to export my GridView, but also, replace any CheckBox controls that are rendered automatically with T/F fields in the process, with LiteralControls, so that everything is text in Excel.
See my below code. I'm not getting any errors, but the code is just not working. The resulting spreadsheet contains the CheckBox fields anyway.

I have an small ASP.NET application that reads data from a table and sends it out as an excel attachment in an email message. The data is simply HTML table tr td tagged data. The way I am sending the message is by the following code:
byte[] data = GetData(excelData); MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(data); mm.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(memoryStream, "info.xls", "text/plain"));
This has been working fine in Excel 2003 but for some reason Excel 2007 keeps trying to convert the whole thing to a formula and I get a "Cell Data too Long" error. I've tried searching but couldn't really find anything specific about why this might be happening in 07 or a simple way to fix it. I know 07 probably handles data a little bit different than 03 but I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to reworking this app if possible.
I am using Ajax ConfirmButtonExtender Control in GridView for Deleting the Record. I am also Exporting the GridData to Excel using Render Method.

I was wondering if it is possible to add additional data to Excel document created from gridview. What I want to do is to manually add data to certain rows and columns (date, couple of titles, etc), but I'm not sure how to do it.
im using an excel file as a datasource for my gridview...i can pull all the data into the gridview fine. i am now hoping to allow the user to update the data in the excel file through the gridview. is it possible to update the excel file in this format i.e. allow the user the read/update the excel file as if its a database. i see some references in google that its not possible to update the excel file as the writeout causes problems. does anyone have this working...or should i look into trying to use another datasource.
i was hoping to use an excel file as the app is on a shared server and it would be handy just to have the excel file in the app folder as there is not much data involved.
