Question

I am having problems in writing some Chinese characters to http response. I set application/vnd.ms-excel to ContentType.

When I view the excel file, I can’t see the characters that I have written. I have tried using different encoding as well but it doesn’t work. Am I missing something?

 protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        HttpResponse response = Page.Response;
        response.Clear();
        response.ClearHeaders();
        response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.UnicodeEncoding.GetEncoding("GB2312");
        response.Charset = "GB2312";
        response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=myfile.xls");
        response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel;charset=GB2312";
        response.Write("盈亏 你好你好你怎么样");
        response.Flush();
        response.End();
    }

We managed to solve it by using Response.BinaryWrite instead of Response.Write. Thanks guys!
