Forms Data Controls :: Display Data In An Excel / PDF Or CSV File Format?
Apr 10, 2010
I'm building a User Control that will allow a user to select input parameters, run a query and then view the results in a GridView control. That part is obviously very easy. However, I've been asked to also provide the option of viewing and/or printing the data in a PDF, Excel or CSV file format.
Are there any .Net 2.0, built-in classes that allow for exporting and printing data in these formats in Visual Studio 2005?
A couple of years ago, I worked on a website that offered this functionality in Crystal Reports, but on this particular assignment, we aren't currently using Crystal - I'm not at work right now, and I can't remember if we're running the "Standard" or "Enterprise" edition of Visual Studio.
I'm exporting data to an excel sheet from the ojects list. The data is exporting to excel sheet well, but I'm unable to see the grid format for the data. The data is looking with out the rows and columns lines.I think I'm missing to set some property or somethnig ehwn exporting.
I have a web page with a gridview control and a button for Exporting to Excel
I get following error when exporting to Excel.
"The file you are trying to open, 'someFileName[1].xls, is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
Clicking Yes opens the file. I would like to avoid showing the above error to the users.
Following code is used from the click event. I've left the commented code here to show what I've tried based on results from internet search. I have Microsoft Office Excel 2007 on local PC.
