Don't DataTable and DataSets have a WriteXML() and WriteXmlSchema(), could those be used to help?
I don't think there is a native way in .NET to create an excel file.
You could make a CSV pretty easy from it though.

Loop through your data, each row is a line, each column gets a comma between it.
If there are commas in your data, wrap the whole thing in quotes.
If there are quotes in you data, wrap it in double quotes.

Check the internet for more CSV rules.

There may be no native way, but there is a way using Interop.

It's fairly simple. You need to include System.IO, and then just create the file:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"c:\dev\test.csv", FileMode.Create);
  2. StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fs);
  3. /////////
  4. //This section: replace.  Loop through your data, inserting commas between columns and newlines between rows.
  5. sw.WriteLine("name,number");
  6. sw.WriteLine("Curtis,10");
  7. /////////
  8. sw.Close();
  9. fs.Close();
  10. //always close your streams
  11.  
And follow Plater's advice, find out more on rules of CSVs.

I guess I figured that wasn't an option. I assume too much sometimes.
