Web Forms :: Default Save As File Type - Xls / Xlsx?
Feb 10, 2011
While exporting the html to Excel using Response.Write() in ASP.NET and when I try to save as the exported file I'm getting the default save as file type 'Web Page *.html, *.htm in excel application. Is there an any fix to get the default save as file type as xls or xlsx?
I am validating user from Login.xlsx file. It was working fine by validating email and password from that file. For testing i got new file same contents of file but added some more user names. So after that when i validating the user i am getting the following error "Data type mismatch in criteria expression".
But when i replaced the new to old one it is working fine. The contens of both files are the same. So why this kind of error happened.
Is it possible to only display the desired file type in the file type dropdownlist in the browser window when we click the browser button of the fileupload control of asp.net? If yes then how?
Iv created a web application using vb.net 2005. Its working fine and running fine on the server (Microsoft Server 2003). The problem i have is to dowload a file from the same server using vb.net. I tried using this code but it gives me a : "is not a virtual path" error.
In my application I've allowed users to upload Excel 2003 .xls files, and import them into a Gridview. This has been working fine using the following connection string:
[Code]....
Now my users are using Excel 2003, 2007 or 2010, I need to allow the newer file extensions (.XLSX) to be accessible too.
Therefore, within the connection string above I presume I could change the Excel version from 8.0 to 9.0 or 10.0 respectively, but is there much difference between Excel 2007 and Excel 2010 files?
If so, is it possible to 'detect' the Excel file version so that I can use the appropriate connection string to read the data from the files?
I am unable to import xlsx file in Asp .Net getting below error:-
Could not find installable ISAM.
I am using below code for importing xlsx file:-
'function Protected Function ExcelConnection() As OleDbCommand ' Connect to the Excel Spreadsheet Dim xConnStr As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=C:Users cs0028DesktopUpload1.xlsx;" & _ "Extended Properties=Excel 12.0;" ' create your excel connection object using the connection string Dim objXConn As New OleDbConnection(xConnStr) objXConn.Open() Dim objCommand As New OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]", objXConn) Return objCommand
I'm working on some code that generates an Excel spreadsheet server-side and then downloads it to the user. I'm using ExcelPackage to generate the file.
The generation is working just fine. I can open the generated files using Excel 2007 with no issues. But, I'm having trouble downloading the file with Response.TransmitFile().
Right now, I have the following code:
//Generate the file using ExcelPackage string fileName = generateExcelFile(dataList, "MyReportData"); Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=FileName.xls"); Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.xls" Response.Charset = ""; Response.TransmitFile(fileName);
When Excel 2007 opens the file downloaded as above, it gives the "file format doesn't match extension" warning. After clicking past the warning, Excel displays the raw xml contents of the file. If I change the file extension, like so Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=FileName.xlsx"); Excel 2007 gives an "Excel found unreadable content in the file" error, followed by a dialog that offers to locate a converter on the web. If I click "no" on this dialog, Excel is able to load the data.
I've also experimented with different MIME types, like application/vnd.ms-excel and application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet, combined with file extensions of .xls and .xlsx. All combinations result in one of the two behaviors mentioned above. What is the correct combination of file extension and MIME type to use in this scenario? What else could cause this failure, other than an improper MIME type or extension? FYI, this is occurring with Visual Studio's built-in development web server. I haven't yet tried this with IIS.

I have a link http://Test/Folder/file1.xls which is working fine But if I typehttp://Test/Folder/file1.xlsx it is not working. It is giving me a file not found error.So when I read online every one is suggesting me to add the correct MIME type at tyhe IIS level. I don't know if that's the correct thing to do.I opened IIS and navigated to folder FOLDER right clicked and selected properties -> HTTP Headers -> MIME Types->New -> Extension -> .Xlsx-> What should i be entering for MIME type?
I am trying to fetching the data from Book1.xlsx file. The program is not working and throws an exception. check the code and tell me where I am doing the mistake?
[Code]....
The exception is:
An error: The Microsoft Office Access database engine cannot open or write to the file ''. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.
Excel cannot open the file "Report.xlsx" because the file format or extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file
Using the Interop for Excel 2003 I had a nice little link that saved or opened the repeater content as .xls. Now we are using Excel 2007 and I get file format error messages. When I click the OK button on the error pop-up Excel closes. Does anyone out there know how to convert my code to handle the .xlsx format? I've been reading up on Interop for 2007 but none of the examples seem to work for this particular simple task. Here is my code from the "Export to Excel" button click:
Protected Sub btnExport_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExport.Click ' Send HTTP headers that specify Excel filename, MIME type, and character set Dim sTemp As String = "attachment;filename=CoverageCase" & Session("OpenCase").casekey.ToString & ".xlsx" Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", sTemp) Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" Response.Charset = "" ' Create objects used to render the controls Dim strw As New System.IO.StringWriter........
I found a thread from a couple of years ago dealing with this but there was no solution [URL]. There were a couple of tortureous work arounds but neither work for me.

I am binding SQL data to a GridView. The GridView's DataKeyNames property is set to the SQL column called "utID"
I know that within the SQL results, some of the utID values are NULL. After databinding to the GridView, I need to enumerate through the GridViewRows an read the DataKey values. However, when I try this I get the following error:
No default member found for type 'DBNull'. I am using the code below.
What object types are stored within DataKeys (I thought it was just integers or strings)
How to handle a NULL datakey value to prevent this error occurring?
I don't want to use Try Catch because it's too much of a 'hack'
