Hi Ken,

I don't know how much control you need, but I just generate a csv file for
the user. The user is then asked to save or open the file with the default
app (ussually Excel).

This ussually works enough that I can keep it as simple as possible. I also
generate a tocsv.aspx file, so it's generic.

Good luck,
John

Create a crystal report and export the content as Excel, that's the cheapest
way
see the sample code..

ReportDocument r=new ReportDocument();
crTableLogOnInfo=new TableLogOnInfo();

rptFiles=(MapPath("Reports\\xxx.rpt"));

r.Load(rptFiles);
crDatabase=r.Database;
for (int i = 0; i < crDatabase.Tables.Count; i++)
{
crTable = crDatabase.Tables[i];
crTableLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo;
crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo);

}
s=(System.IO.MemoryStream) r.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType.Excel);
HttpContext.Current.Response.ClearContent();
HttpContext.Current.Response.ClearHeaders();
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/x-msexcel";
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;
filename=Report.xls");
HttpContext.Current.Response.BinaryWrite(s.ToArray ());
HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
r.Close();

Hope this help you...

Alternatively, if you want some more "presentation" formatting, create an
HTML document and then change its extension to .xls. Excel will just
"understand" what to do with it...

Ken.

Search google.com for
GridView Excel
or
DataGrid Excel
or even
Repeater Excel

There are some simple code snipplets out there ... to "export" one of those
controls,. and write it to Excel.

Here is one:

Your easiest cheapest bet is to change the content type to excel and
response.write the content out. it will appear in the browser as a
spreadsheet. If you want more, you'll need to use a third party product.
