Web Forms :: Exporting To Excel: Generating Microsoft JScript Runtime Error

I am trying to write a bit of code that will export the current contents of a gridview to an excel file on the local system. I've looked at several examples on how to do it and implemented it. However, i am unable to get the gridview to export the data.

Here's the basics of what i am doing:

I'm using httpcontext.current.response to specify the file contents and filename. creating Stringwriter and htmltextwriter objects.

then rendering the table into the htmlwriter then rendering the htmlwriter to the response.

however, regardless of how large or small the table i am working with is, i keep getting the following error:

[Code]....

Visual Studio opens a file called ScriptResource.axd and the error is noted in the following section of code at the throw error line.

[Code]....

I have included the Public Overrides Sub VerifyRenderingInServerForm(ByVal ctl As Control) method as suggested by others but this has not resolved my issue. I am not sure how to proceed.
