Oct 14, 2010
I am trying to work through a sample of exporting a gridview to an excel spreadsheet.I found the code below on the internet. I pasted it into a test.aspx page. I need to establish a connection to the NorthWind Database. Or if you have a better example of exporting a gridview to excel, share. Here is the location of the northwind.mdb on my pc: (and is this sample looking for an access database or a sql database...what is the filetype of a sqlserver database?) See code below

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 am exporting GridView to Excel but keep on getting a pop up "The file you are trying to open, 'somefile.xls' is in a different format than specidied by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?When I click "yes" the file opens fine. But why I am getting the pop up at the first place.Also as I have Office 2007 on my machine
Kindly note, the ID. QTy are currently in a gridview and the Label is a label on top of the gridview. I would like to export both the label and the gridview to excel...how can I do this.
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.
