Question

I’m looking some example coding to be able to whenever a page is launched he automatically exports the current gridview data to an excel-file and then attach it to a mail and send the mail.

I have an export to excel function but this function asks the user to Save or View the file and I badly need to skip this step because I want my script to be running automatically.

If someone could help me with this this will be appreciated 🙂

Thanks
Kevin

try with this code

        string filename = "Test.xls"; 
        System.IO.StringWriter tw = new System.IO.StringWriter();
        System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter hw = new System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(tw);

        //Get the H`enter code here`TML for the control.
        yourGrid.RenderControl(hw);
        //Write the HTML back to the browser.
        Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
        Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename + "");

        Response.Write(tw.ToString());
