Web Forms :: Wrong Encoding While Exporting Gridview To Excel?
Jul 30, 2010
In my application i have gridview that I export it to excel. When exporting I have the option to select if show the data with images or with no images. The application run well, but when i try export Hebrew data I got gibberish letters. The second thing is that if I select the option "with no images"
Sometimes the Hebrew seems good, and sometime not. Of course I add the Response.ContentEncoding. I thing maybe I should encoding one of this rows
[Code]....
But don't know how. Here is my application printscreen. and this is my code
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'm exporting a Gridview to excel. I get all the gridview header and content in excel in addition to that i need to add a header text like report name in header of the excel sheet with line break in header.
I tried the solution in this link [URL] by adding
Table.Caption = "Header Text" Table.CaptionAlign = TableCaptionAlign.Top but i get error Reference to a non shared member requires an object reference.
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 have read many articles but in the end i have downloaded the code from URL...and i adapted for my code. The problem is that when i press the ExporttoExcel button it's exporting only this...I cannot figure out that is the problem.
On two of my web forms I have the ability to export a gridview to an excel file. On my local machine. it works. So when I click an image button it gives me the option of opening or saving a gridview as Excel.
However, when I run on the web server. It does not give me the option to open or save, it just opens the gridview as an excel document when the button is clicked.
Even stranger: I have this running on two separate forms. On one form when it opens the gridview as an Excel file it includes a tool bar, so that If a user wishes they could do a 'file', 'save'; However the other one does not have a tool bar?
Ideally I would like them to get the prompt like on the local machine, to open or save.
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.
This is the class file im using to export the datagrid to excel sheet.Problem is i cant able to transfer the image from gridview to excel sheet using this code. What are the modifications i can do for the below code to export the image.
public class ExcelReport { # region Export to excel /// /// Function for Export html report to Excel sheet /// /// File name /// Gridview /// public void ExportToExcel(string fileName, GridView gv) { try { HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear(); HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", string.Format("attachment; filename={0}", fileName)); HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/ms-excel"; using (StringWriter sw = new StringWriter()) { using (HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw)) { Table table = new Table(); if (gv.HeaderRow != null) { //gv.HeaderRow.CssClass = "GridviewStyle"; // gv.HeaderRow.Font.Bold = true; PrepareControlForExport(gv.HeaderRow); table.Rows.Add(gv.HeaderRow); } foreach (GridViewRow row in gv.Rows) { //row.CssClass = "GridviewStyle"; // row.BorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue; // row.Height = 20; PrepareControlForExport(row); table.Rows.Add(row); } if (gv.FooterRow != null) { PrepareControlForExport(gv.FooterRow); table.Rows.Add(gv.FooterRow); } table.RenderControl(htw); HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(sw.ToString()); HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush(); HttpContext.Current.Response.End(); } } } catch (Exception ex) { throw ex; } } private void PrepareControlForExport(Control control) { for (int i = 0; i < control.Controls.Count; i++) { Control current = control.Controls[i]; if (current is LinkButton) { control.Controls.Remove(current); control.Controls.AddAt(i, new LiteralControl((current as LinkButton).Text)); } else if (current is ImageButton) { control.Controls.Remove(current); control.Controls.AddAt(i, new LiteralControl((current as ImageButton).AlternateText)); } else if (current is....................................
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 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 realized this has been asked multiple times before, but I still haven't been able to get it to work. I'm trying to export a Gridview to Excel without losing leading zeros. Here is my code. Add added the STYLE lines to try to fix the problem.
Dim attachment As String = "attachment; filename=Awards.xls" System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.ClearContent() System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", attachment) System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/ms-excel" Dim sw As New StringWriter() Dim htw As New HtmlTextWriter(sw) gv.RenderControl(htw) System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(sw.ToString()) Dim STYLE As String = "<style> .text { mso-number-format: ; } </style> " System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(STYLE) System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.[End]()
I took over some old php application with MySQL as database. Inside the database, there are tables including content with localized strings (therefore containing special chars)Currently there is a PHP application accessing that database. My job is to create an ASP.net (C# codebehind) application that accesses that strings as well. That works, as far as encoding goes.If I try to access these strings, I do get a kind of encoding problem, like 'Ändern' and 'Prüfzeichen', but only in the ASP.net application. The PHP app sets utf-8 as charset and the strings are perfectly rendered. In the ASP.net application it's gibberish, regardless of the page encoding.In the MySQL database, the charset for the specified table 'translations' is set to 'latin --cp1252 West European' and collation to 'latin_swedish_ci'.I can't seem to figure out what PHP apparently does, and ASP.net does not. I traced the php code and could not find any sign of special encoding while getting a string from the database.The question is, how can I ensure correct encoding inside the ASP.net application without modifying the database, because big changes at the php code are not possible?
but not working properly and on opening the file it gives following error "Excel cannot open the file 'ChangeRequestList[2].xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file"
I am binding data from a dataset to a grid and exporting data from the grid to an excel.if the the number of items in the grid is greater than 50000,an error message is displayed.
So i want to split the data and display it in different worksheets in excel.(Am working in a web application)
using this code for exporting to excel
gvExcel.DataSource = DTS; gvExcel.DataBind(); Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename= filename.xls"); Response.ContentType = "application/excel"; StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw); gvExcel.RenderControl(htw); // Style is added dynamically Response.Write(style); Response.Write(sw.ToString()); Response.End();
I am able to save excel sheet from GridView perfectly. However, I need to add one custom column, which will be URL of a file on sever, I am not allowed to add URLs directly in the table (as per company's development policies). I tried pulling URL from web.config however I am not sure where to add that in the following code
I am trying to export a gridview that is returned from a search form. The gridview also has paging enabled. In order to export the records from all pages in the gridview I had to turn off paging and do a databind, but instead of only exporting the search results it exports all the records in the gridview.
How can I only export the records from the search results, but also the make sure the records on the different pages export also?
With the code i have below i am able to export only one page of gridview to excel. check and modify it once.so that i can import all the pages of gridview to excel at a time with  checked status of checkbox.
protected void btnExporttoExcel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { DataTable dt = new DataTable(); dt.Columns.AddRange(new DataColumn[5] { new DataColumn("Presentees"), new DataColumn("StudentName"), new DataColumn("ColgRegisterNum"), new DataColumn("CollegeName"), new DataColumn("Date"), }); foreach (GridViewRow row in gvStdntDetails.Rows)
I want to export a gridview data to excel; however, my form contains an update panel. I am getting the error message below. Note: the function works without an update Panel.
RegisterForEventValidation can only be called during Render(); private { Response.ClearContent(); Response.AddHeader( Response.ContentType =
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've got an .rdlc report which I print from my .net app (C# Visual Studio 2005), where I use a RemoteReportPrinter object. I give it as parameters the server name, report name, report parameters, etc. Works fine. My question is, I would live to do an analagous export of that report to Excel. Set it up exactly the same, but have it export to Excel rather than print, probably using some other type of object than RemoteReportPrinter.
