Question

I have a gridview with data. I need to put one button to Export/import that gridview data to excel sheet using asp.net mvc.

You can bypass excel automation and use OleDbConnection like this

connectionString = ("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source={0};Extended Properties='Excel 8.0;'";
...

connectionString = string.Format(connectionString, fileName);
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(connectionString)
.............
// You can create table or insert value using SQL statement 
// Create your OleDbCommand and execute it. 
............
conn.Close();
