Export datagrid(with allowsorting) to Excel

[Eric]

Dear All,

I want to export datagrid content to a Excel file, the code just like below:

Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.Charset = ""
Me.EnableViewState = False
Dim tw As New System.IO.StringWriter()
Dim hw As New System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(tw)
gridList.Columns(0).Visible = False
gridList.Columns(1).SortExpression = ""
gridList.RenderControl(hw)
Response.Write(tw.ToString())
Response.End()

....

If my datagrid Allowsorting=true, then the code run error,but if I config the Allowsorting=false, then above code run fine.
Please help me how to export if my datagrid has the allowsorting properity.

Any help welcomes.

Best Regards,
Eric.

In this instance, since you know what the user wants when you query the
data, I would consider sorting the data on the server when you pull the
data. I am not sure why it bombs (I would have to examine the HTML
produced), but it is easily solved by sorting on the Data tier and avoiding
the issue on the Presentation tier.

He can probably tell you how to set your clock...

Here's how... Go to the first message that you post dated. Then from the
Message menu in OE, choose Block Sender.

hi eric,

are you getting some error like 'link item must be placed into form tag with an attribute runat=server" if so then your problem is because of when you use htmltextwriter and render control into it where your grids sorting property set to true then link items generate this error because your htmltextwriter doesn't include form tag.try including some form tag into htmltextwriter or , first disable allowsorting property to false , then export to excel and then rebind your dataset with allowsorting set to true (also this has some side effects where grid losts page numbers. etc)
