@G Vijai Kumar

I am using your code in an aspx page with inline code. I used your code as it without changing anything and calling it on button click. It create a blank excel sheet thne I debug the code and noticed that it is not adding heading row as well not going in for-each loop. In my aspx page spgridview control is already added. I dont think it should be the problem. Secondly I also noticed that after executing the excelsheet If I try to re-click on buton, nothing happen.

Please advise

I am trying to export an spgridview that has a SPMenufield, however once exported the SPMenufield is not properly exported. I just get some hyperlinks which don’t make any sense. How do you “PrepareControlForExport” for SPMenuField?

@ Briana: No, it won’t export with grouping even if you enable on SPGridView

If I enable the grouping on SPGridview, will it also export with grouping?

To Kien Tran: Nice one!
I too am fairly new to SP2007 Development but had a more tricky issue. Rather than have a funky button to support the Export, I preferred to rather add a Verb to the Webpart such that the webpart dropdown menu renders the ‘Export File’ option; looks tidier.
1. Override the WebPartVerCollection
2. Create my new Verb :
WebPartVerb verb = new WebPartVerb(“AlertsReportExport”, OnExportClick, “_spFormOnSubmitCalled = false;_spSuppressFormOnSubmitWrapper=true;”);
3. Add it to the Verbs collection and then return it.
Cheers

Vijai, i tried to implement the above for a SharePoint list on (http://—-/allitems.aspx), but it gives me error – Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Please advise.

Thanks.

@ Harsh: You can create a custom webpart which has only button, on button click you can execute the code above posted code.
