Datagrid -> Excel?

Can anyone recommend a good, reliable solution or 3rd party component to
send a DataGrid or DataTable's contents to Excel? I've tried the following
code but it does not work reliably with large amounts of data (we have about
50,000 rows).

Server.ScriptTi meout = 1000;

Response.Conten tType = "applicatio n/vnd.ms-excel";

Response.Charse t = "";

EnableViewState = false;

System.IO.Strin gWriter stringWriter = new System.IO.Strin gWriter();

HtmlTextWriter htmlWriter = new HtmlTextWriter( stringWriter);

DataGrid1.Rende rControl(htmlWr iter);

Response.Write( stringWriter.To String());

Response.End();

An alternative that I use is to create a comma delimited text file by
looping through the datatable in the datagrid's datasource (no datagrid
needed, really) and using a streamwriter to create the file. Save it
with the suffix .csv to a location on the server and then provide the
user with a link to the new file. It will automatically open in Excel
in the browser.

There are a variety of ways to export to excel, and most of them are
outlined in this article:
http://steveorr.net/Articles/ExcelExport.aspx

Here's another option:

And here are a couple of good 3rd party options:

Hi All I have been trying to add a control to the header cell of a datagrid on my ASP.NET page. These controls are defined in the HTML as ASP.NET web controls. They are being added into the header of the datagrid in the "ItemDataBound" method of the grid. However, once, they are added in the grid, i seem to lose the event handler for the same control. Is there anyone who has tried this before and knows why this is hapenning ??
