ASP.Net: Export to HTML file and save with save file dialog in C#.

So continuing from my exporting sample series here I am narrating how to export data to HTML file in C#, ASP.Net. For this example I’ll use same “GetData” method (to get the data for exporting) which we had used in Export to Excel example, you can use your own method to get data.

/// <summary>
/// Export to Html
/// </summary>
public static void ExportHtmlFile()
{
    const string format = "<tr><td>{0}</td><td>{1}</td><td>{2}</td><td>{3}</td></tr>";

    var sb = new StringBuilder();

    sb.AppendFormat("<h1 style='font-size: 18px;font-weight: bold;'>{0}</h1>"
        , "Export HTML Sample");
    sb.Append("<table style='width:500px;'>");

    sb.AppendFormat(format
        , "First Name"
        , "Last Name"
        , "Email Address"
        , "City");

    var records = GetData();

    foreach (var record in records)
    {
        sb.AppendFormat(format
            , record.FirstName
            , record.LastName
            , record.Email
            , record.City);
    }

    sb.Append("</table>");

    //Get current response
    var response = HttpContext.Current.Response;
    response.BufferOutput = true;

    //clear response
    response.Clear();
    response.ClearHeaders();
    response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.Unicode;

    //proivde file name as "Test_Data.html"
    response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=Test_Data.html");
    response.ContentType = "text/html";
    response.Write(sb.ToString());
    response.End();
}

And we can see result here:

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. It supports only HTTP protocol. It supports various protocols like TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, Named Pipes, and MSMQ. It supports HTTP protocol. It can be hosted only on IIS. It can be hosted within the application or on IIS or using window service. It can be hosted within the application or on IIS. It is no...
