Question

I’m trying to output a ExcelPackage created using EPPLUS to a file path without Excel actually opening up the file. I’ve got the below code right now…what am I doing wrong? Thanks.

 Dim FileName As String = "C:\Temp\" + CurrAcct + ".xlsx"
 Dim Result As New MemoryStream()
 xlPackage.SaveAs(Result)
 Context.Response.Clear()
 Context.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-      officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet"
 Context.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + FileName + ".xlsx")
 Result.WriteTo(Context.Response.OutputStream)
 Context.Response.End()

You need to use a FileStream to save it to the local disk.

Here is a stackoverflow example: Save as using EPPlus?
