ASP.Net: Export from Gridview to Excel in C#

In another example I had written about how to export from list of records to excel file. But one of my friends asked me to write a sample to export from Gridview to excel file.

Here is that function which will export from Gridview to excel file:
/// <summary>
/// Export Gridview to excel.
/// </summary>
private void ExportGridviewToExcel()
{
    Response.Clear();
    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", 
                        "attachment;filename= Test_Data.xls");
    Response.Charset = "";
    Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.xls";

    var stringWriter = new System.IO.StringWriter();
    var htmlWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWriter);

    // Added gridview to HtmlForm to handle the exception:
    // Control 'TestGrid' of type 'GridView' must be placed
    // inside a form tag with runat=server.
    var form = new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlForm();
    Controls.Add(form);
    form.Controls.Add(TestGrid); // TestGrid is name of GridView.

    // Render Form Control
    form.RenderControl(htmlWriter);

    Response.Write(stringWriter.ToString());
    Response.End();
}

C#: Merging Excel cells with NPOI HSSFWorkbook

In this post we’ll see how to merge the two or more cell with each other while creating the excel sheet using NPOI . Mentioned below is code to merge multiple cells, in this example we are merging first cell to fifth cell of first row (you can adjust row or cell range by passing particular parameters in CellRangeAddress). //Created new Workbook var hwb = new NPOI.HSSF.UserModel. HSSFWorkbook (); //Create worksheet with name. var sheet = hwb.CreateSheet( "new sheet" ); //Create row and cell. var row = sheet.CreateRow(0); var cell = row.CreateCell(0); ; //Set text inside cell cell.SetCellValue( "This is Merged cell" ); cell.CellStyle.WrapText = true ; //define cell range address // parameters: -> first row to last and first cell to last cell var cra = new NPOI.SS.Util. CellRangeAddress (0, 0, 0, 4); //Add merged region to sheet. sheet.AddMergedRegion(cra); Hope this solution helps you J

Difference between Web API, WCF and Web Service

So now we have got the basic idea about Web API , now let’s do some comparison of Web API with WCF and web services. Web Service WCF Web API Web services are created as files with .asmx extension. WCF create with .svc extension Web API are simple class file with .cs(for C#) extension. Web API is inherited from “ApiController” and the class name must end with “Controller”. It is SOAP based service and returns data in XML form. It is also based on SOAP and returns data in XML form. Web API is HTTP based service and by default, it returns data in JSON or XML form.
