I found a few examples online and followed them, but wasnt getting any results, just errors..Here is what i have in my button event that i want to use to create the files..
[Code]....
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.

in my web application page i have a option to export to excel . I am able to export the data to Excel but have 2 issues
1) i hav ethe option of exporting in .XLS or .XLSX format
i am able to export in .xls format from any system ie the system having office 2007 or 2003
but when i am trying to export in .XLSX format i get error
Microsoft Office Excel---------------------------The file you are trying to open, 'noup.xlsx', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and that the file extension matches the file format---------------------------Ok---------------------------
2) when exporting i want the excel sheet to be saved with the name thats selected from a dropdown
suppose the dropdown has text selected as CITY
i want the excel sheet as CITY.XLS/.XLSX
i my developemnet system it works fine with below code
string filename = dropdown1.SelectedItem.Text
if (Extension.SelectedValue.ToString() == ".xls")
{
[Code].....
but on production server i get the name of .aspx page
when I used a code of exporting gridview into excel this code worked for a new website which is without masterpage.
my code:
public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control) { }
protected void BtnGenerateReport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=GridViewExport.xls");
Response.Charset = "";
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();.....
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 text field that users enter information into a database (SQL Server). They are entering as little as a few sentances to multiple paragraphs. I can successfully display the data on my webpage, but the text field is not formatted very nicely. The output is all smashed together like one big paragraph. Ironically, when I also display the text as a tool tip it outputs as multiple paragraphs like it was entered. How can I format the output in the datalist to create a more readable text field? My datalist field is as follows:
<asp:Label id="WebDescriptionLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("WebDescription") %>' ForeColor="Brown" />

I need a way to export data from MySql database (or simply from DataTable) to Excel and set colors of particular rows based on one of the fields' content.
I don't want to export the whole GridView because I need a way to add fields with calculated values as needed.
I have the following code that works:
[Code]....
But I don't know how to set colors to particular rows. Also, I don't know how to make Excel treat text fields that look like numbers as text to avoit scientific notation.
I currently have a data grid that exports to Excel on an ASP.NET page (which is used for reporting purposes) which works great until we put it under the stresses of a full scale production environment. With a multitude of users using it it seems to fill up the server memory quite quickly since the data thats being pulled is rather large. The requirements of the page are: The data needs to be queried and exported to excel, so theres no point to getting around that. I've noticed that xls files are rather large in comparison to their xlsx counter parts, using xlsx files would be fine for my application. I've noticed that xlsb (Excel binary) are even smaller(approx 25% the size of the their xls counterpart). Is there anyway to change my code to export to xlsb (first choice) or xlsx rather than xls? I think it has something to do with Mime Types but I'm not positive.
Here is the code that I'm using for exporting:

This is an ASP.NET 3.5 project being created with VS2008. One page contains a gridview with six columns. One of the columns displays standard, 17 character , Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN). The VIN numbers display normally when the page is rendered. However, when the gridview is exported to Excel, the VIN numbers change. For example, in the gridview, the VIN might be 12345678912345678But when the gridview exports into Excel, that same VIN becomes 1.23457E+16The value of that Excel cell changes to 12345678912345600, changing the last two digits from 78 to 00. It does this for every VIN in the gridview table.I did some Googling but couldn't find anything specifically on this issue. Has anyone seen it before? Is there a way to format the column in the gridview so that Excel will accept it as literal text? I tried programmatically adding a style called 'text' to that column but that had no effect on the outcome. All of the other columns are behaving normally.

I finally managed to export a gridview to an excel sheet.
Next, how can I remove the column width and alternatingrowstyle color (or all formatting if it is easier) "programatically" before exporting it to excel?

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.
