Hello all,
I'd like to export a DataGridView to Excel. I am using .NET 2.0 and VB.NET.
But I don't know if the user has Excel on their machines, so can't use COM
Excel object.
Any ideas please? How is an Excel file put together?
Many thanks,
Mike 5 34043
Mile,
I was faced with the same problem. Because users had different versions of
Excel installed, I could not find one solution.
Finally I created an html table from the datagridview bindingsource. If you
save this as *.xls, it seems to open in all versions of Excel.
You can dress up the html with a header and description, but the basis is
the table.
See if that works for you.
Rick
No problem, I've written some code to do this using CSV...
Public Sub WriteCSVFile(By Val dgv As DataGridView)
Dim OutputStr As String = ""
Dim nCol As DataGridViewCol umn
' Write the column headers
For Each nCol In dgv.Columns
' First row, write column names
If nCol.Visible = True Then
OutputStr = OutputStr & "," & nCol.HeaderText
End If
Next
' Trim off the first comma
If OutputStr.Start sWith(",") Then OutputStr = OutputStr.Subst ring(1,
OutputStr.Lengt h - 1)
Dim nRow As DataGridViewRow
Dim nCell As DataGridViewCel l
Dim OutputLine As String = ""
For Each nRow In dgv.Rows
For Each nCell In nRow.Cells
If nCell.Visible = True Then
OutputLine = OutputLine & "," &
nCell.Formatted Value.ToString. Replace(",", "")
End If
Next
' Trim off the first comma
If OutputLine.Star tsWith(",") Then OutputLine =
OutputLine.Subs tring(1, OutputLine.Leng th - 1)
' New line? Add it
If OutputLine <"" Then OutputStr = OutputStr & vbCrLf &
OutputLine
Next
MsgBox(OutputSt r)
End Sub

Thanks Rick,
That's a great idea. Just a normal HTML table saved as ".xls"
I've made a CSV solution for now which works well but has of course no
formatting.

I did it using CarlosAg Excel writer (it generates excel xml)... http://www.timvw.be/datagridview-to-excel/
(It tries to mimic the CellStyle and format as much as possible.. Be
aware that excel has a limitted color palette, eg: Color.LightGree n as
BackColor in a Cell would be greyish in the sheet)
