View 2 RepliesI am using the following code to export a datset to excel sheet.

Problem is that its not raising file download and hence no export is taking place.The same code works fine in a normal method.But with the webmethod its not working.
I am using the following code to export fields from a database table into excel. What I want to do is be able to write a SQL statement to retrieve fields from multiple tables and export them into excel. This code only allows me to export one table. Also, how can I display a save prompt dialog?
protected void export_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string sql = null;
string data = null;
string path = save_as.Text;
int i = 0;
int j = 0;
Excel.Application xlApp;
Excel.Workbook xlWorkBook;
Excel.Worksheet xlWorkSheet;
object misValue = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
xlApp = new Excel.ApplicationClass();
xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add(misValue);
xlWorkSheet = (Excel.Worksheet)xlWorkBook.Worksheets.get_Item(1);
//connectionString = "data source=servername;initial catalog=databasename;user id=username;password=password;";
SqlConnection cnn = new SqlConnection(GetConnectionString());
cnn.Open();
sql = "SELECT Story, CreationDate FROM Story";
SqlDataAdapter dscmd = new SqlDataAdapter(sql, cnn);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
dscmd.Fill(ds);
for (i = 0; i <= ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count - 1; i++)
{
for (j = 0; j <= ds.Tables[0].Columns.Count - 1; j++)
{
data = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[j].ToString();
xlWorkSheet.Cells[i + 1, j + 1] = data;
}
}
xlWorkBook.SaveAs(path+".xls", Excel.XlFileFormat.xlWorkbookNormal, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue, Excel.XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlExclusive, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue);
xlWorkBook.Close(true, misValue, misValue);
xlApp.Quit();
releaseObject(xlWorkSheet);
releaseObject(xlWorkBook);
releaseObject(xlApp);
//MessageBox.Show("Excel file created , you can find the file c:\csharp.net-informations.xls");
}
private void releaseObject(object obj)
{
try
{
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(obj);
obj = null;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
obj = null;
//MessageBox.Show("Exception Occured while releasing object " + ex.ToString());
}
finally

Actually I have a SQL query that a user exports to excel in our web server. I did it in c# with Visual Studio 2003 (.Net v1.1): I get the data from a SQL server into a Dataset, then with this method I create the XLS file:
private void ExportAsExcelFile ( DataSet dtExport )
{
Response.Clear() ;
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8 ;
Response.Charset = string.Empty ;
Response.AddHeader ( "Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=data.xls" ) ;
System.IO.StringWriter objStringWriter = new StringWriter () ;
System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter objHtmlTextWriter = new System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(objStringWriter) ;
DataGrid objDatagrid = new DataGrid () ;
objDatagrid.DataSource = dtExport ;
objDatagrid.DataBind () ;
objDatagrid.RenderControl ( objHtmlTextWriter ) ;
Response.Write (objStringWriter.ToString()) ;
Response.End () ;
}
Well, this works when the SQL query has 10.000 rows and so on. But now the query has more than 200.000 rows, and I´m getting a TimeOut Error trying to export the data. I read about generate this big files with a Store Procedure and the SQL Commad: BCP [URL], but I tryed and it fails. I have no permissions to execute this command. Is there any other way to export this SQL data to Excel via a ASPX page?
I have a dataset wity multiple table, the same dataset need to export to excel
dataset.table[0] data
dataset.table[1] data in the same excel sheet
I need to give users of my asp.net/vb.net web application the ability to click a button which will then send them an e-mail with the contents of a SQL query attached as an Excel e-mail attachment.
I can manage all of this apart from getting the contents of a VB dataset object into an Excel file on my server.
I know how to export a gridview to Excel at the client end, but my boss has been adamant that he wants the button to send an e-mail with the results attached - I have no need to display a gridview at all.
How to export the contents of a datareader or dataset directly into an Excel file at the server side?
I am trying to Export the dataset values into Excel in my application, its working for first time. Again if i click the export button [second time] the button does't cause postback and the entire page is not postback.

I have a GridView populated by an ObjectDataSource. I also have several DropDownLists filtering the ObjectDataSource. I found a link providing a way to export a DataSet (or DataTable) to Excel here:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/deborahk/archive/2009/07/23/writing-data-from-a-datatable-to-excel.aspx
ow I can ensure that filters applied to the ObjectDataSource when the method is called are applied. In short, how can I ensure what the UI is displaying is what the file will include when exported?

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.

In C# ASP.NET 3.5 web application, I need to export multiple datatables (or a dataset) to an Excel 2007 file with multiple sheets, and then provide the user with 'Open/Save' dialog box, WITHOUT saving the Excel file on the web server.
I have used Excel Interop before. I have been reading that it's not efficient and is not the best approach to achieve this and there are more ways to do it, 2 of them being: 1) Converting data in datatables to an XML string that Excel understands 2) Using OPEN XML SDK 2.0.
It looks like OPEN XML SDK 2.0 is better, please let me know. Are there any other ways to do it? I don't want to use any third-party tools.
If I use OPEN XML SDK, it creates an excel file, right? I don't want to save it on the (Windows 2003) server hard drive (I don't want to use Server.MapPath, these Excel files are dynamically created, and they are not required on the server, once client gets them). I directly want to prompt the user to open/save it. I know how to do it when the 'XML string' approach is used.
