C# - Export To Excel Leaves [?] On Line Endings Before Carriage Returns
Dec 14, 2010
I have an some code to export data form an SQL database to an Excel spread sheet. the data is entered via a web site and some of it contains multiple lines of information. I need to preserve the multiple lines but excel 2007 continues to put an [?] at the end of each line.Here's what I got so far
CellValue.ToString() // this returns [?][?] at the end of each line for excel 2007
// and a single [?] in excel 2010
CellValue.Replace("[//r]","") // this works correctly for 2010 but still leaves a [?] for 2007
Cellvalue.Replace(Environment.NewLine, "") // this removes all the line breaks.
what can I replace the Environment.NewLine with in order to still have line breaks in both excel 2007 and 2010 (with no [?]) ?

I have an ASP.Net page with a multi-line textbox on it. Will the line endings on this textbox be according to the server or the client? What I'm asking is if ASP.Net is running in Linux on Mono will the line endings always be or will it depend on if the client computer is running Linux? Are line endings in a textbox determined by the server or client?

I have a tablecell where I import the text from a SQL database and this all works well, except that the carriage returns are not being displayed in the text.
I have done some googling and although I do not get any error messages, the carriage returns are not appearing in my table cell.
Here is the code:

I have also tried Environment.NewLine, etc. but all to no avail.

I'm working on exporting a dataset to excel. The address field that comes out of the database appears something like this.
0980 Somestreet<br>XYZ<br>MA<br>00000
When I'm about to export this to Excel, I'm replacing the <br> with "
", the resulting cell in Excel appear in one line with spaces where I replaced <br> with "
". I also tried "< br>" as many suggested while I was looking for a fix but just didnt help.
I'm looking for a result some thing like this within a cell with multiple lines.
0980 Somestreet
XYZ, MA
00000

I've got a text box on my page called txtNotes - multiline textbox.
When I add the text into the sql server database, the line feeds are not getting entered.
I have a function that replaces the line feeds with "<br>" and it's still all in one line. Also I don't see the normal square type entity after each line in the database, that is normally there for a line feed.
However, when I copy from the database and paste it to Notepad, it is formatted correctly

I have an ASP.NET multiline textbox. I can hit return to create carriage returns on the screen but the text property of the textbox is ignoring the carriage returns and simply concatenating the lines without even a space in between. I am writing this text property to a database and I want to be able to retrieve the text exactly as it was typed with carriage returns included.

I'm new to .net, and I've noticed that when viewing my HTML source code generated by a .net application the carriage returns are removed from the head tag when it has runat="server" attribute on it.
I remove the runat="server" and the returns... return.
This really looks nasty when you have a few javascript and css files in your header because it ends up making the entire contents of the head tag 1 big line.
Just wondering if there's a way to control this or tell .net through configuration not to mangle the output?

I have tried a number of ways to format the text of a label with codebhind, I don't get errors, but it just ignores the code.
For example, if I put label.text = "Some text " & chr(13) & "some more text"
it will just ignore the chr(13). I have tride vbcrlf, /n, etc.
I would rather not have to change the control to a text box but will if I have to.

I am using asp.net oledb to export information to excel file. I encounter problems when the information to export becomes too big, in this case the code I have given below, the excel file generated becomes an empty spreadsheet. If I changed the loop to 1123 for insertion of the rows. The generated excel file is fine, 1125 rows, and 4 columns shown. A test program in windows form is also working fine regardless of how many rows.
Code has been simplified, "information ..." in the sql insertion command represents 1803 characters.
ExcelObjConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Ace.OLEDB.12.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & fileName & ";Extended Properties=Excel 12.0 XML"
ExcelConnection = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(ExcelObjConn)
ExcelConnection.Open()
Try
SqlCommand = "CREATE TABLE ABC ([row1] text, [row2] text, [row3] text, [row4] text)"
ExcelCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand(SqlCommand, ExcelConnection)
ExcelCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
ExcelCommand.Dispose()
For i As Integer = 0 To 1124
SqlCommand = "Insert into ABC ([row1], [row2], [row3], [row4]) Values ('information...', 'information ...', 'information ...', 'information ...')"
ExcelCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand(SqlCommand, ExcelConnection)
ExcelCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
ExcelCommand.Dispose()
Next
Catch ex As Exception
Finally
If ExcelConnection IsNot Nothing Then
ExcelConnection.Close()
ExcelConnection.Dispose()
End If
End Try
I couldn't find a solution to my problem as well. What I did eventually was to run the process using another separate windows service. The code works perfectly fine running from a windows form or service program, but not asp.net, not sure why.

We have a web part on which we display some data in a grid. We are exporting grid's underlying datatable to Excel and displaying Open - Save - Cancel dialouge box on click of a server side button.Following is the code we are executing on click of server side button.
this.Page.Response.Clear();
this.Page.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=MyTasks.xls");
this.Page.Response.ContentType = "application/ms-excel";
this.Page.Response.Write("...here goes my well formated html....");
this.Page.Response.End();
Problem is that when i click on Cancel in the diaglouge box then dialogue box to Open/Save excel disappears but all the server side buttons placed on my web part becomes non responsive, on click of any of those buttons their server side click event does not get fired

I have a web form that contains a GridView, which impliments Search in Grid with a TextBox and Button control in the footer. This works as I have it now. I have also implimented a Export to Excel function. The Export to Excel works by itself if the Search in Grid function is not included in the footer.The Export to Excel function errors when trying to render the Grid for the export. Is there a better way to incorporate both functions and accomplish the same thing? Am I missing something simple?

When my Web.config transforms it is adding a new line before the end value tag in my ApplicationSettings. This new line is showing up in the setting and causing an exception. Example:
Web.config:
<setting name="FilePath" serializeAs="String">
<value>c:path</value>
</setting>
Web.Debug.config:
<setting name="FilePath" serializeAs="String" xdt:Transform="Replace" xdt:Locator="Match(name)">
<value>c:path</value>
</setting>
Published Web.config:
<setting name="FilePath" serializeAs="String">
<value>c:path
</value>
</setting>
The end value tag being on its own line is causing problems. Does anyone know how to get it to stop doing this?

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.

We have the requirement to export the data from the grid excel. We can't install the Excel on the server. The excel generated need to be in the printable format. The excel generated needs to have custom headers, footers, repeatble rows, columns and landscape / portrait orientation style.

We are deveopingawebiste in asp.net. There are tempelates of each aspx page made in the form of excel sheet. Upon completion of the online calculation, the user is to be allowed to export the results to excel and save them. There would be obviously no formulae in such sheet
I do not want to install Excel on theserver and instead want to utilize the Excel installed on the user's computer for this purpose as every user's computer is expected to have Excel installed. Is this possible to do? How to do this?
I am not an expert in this. let me know if you would need any more information or clarification.

I have a GridView that I want to export to Excel. When I use the sample code I find online, it exports the content to Excel just fine, but for some reason it also clears out all grid lines outside of my exported table.
For your average excel user this is easy enough to fix, but I need this solution to work for everyone.
So then is there a way to export the data in a GridView into an Excel Workbook so that it looks like it was just typed into Excel? I've pasted the code I am using below, assume that a GridView called toPrint exists and has accurate data.
Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + name + "_Registration_Forms.xls");
Response.Charset = "";
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
Page.EnableViewState = false;
System.IO.StringWriter stringWrite = new System.IO.StringWriter();
System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter htmlWrite = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWrite);
toPrint.RenderControl(htmlWrite);
Response.Write(stringWrite.ToString());
Response.End();
EDIT: Found one partial solution. If I export as a comma-delimited list and set the header to be a CSV file, it opens fine and all grid lines (even those outside of the exported data) are showing. The only problem with this of course is having to strip out every comma and newline character from my values before exporting them.
