hI,
I have a table as shown:

C#

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
           System.Data.DataTable table = new System.Data.DataTable();
           table = ds.Tables.Add();
           string[] s1 = { "name", "age" };
           string[] s2 = { "John", "30" };
           table.Columns.Add("Attributes");
           table.Columns.Add("Values");
           for (int i = 0; i < 2; ++i)
           {
               table.Rows.Add(s1[i], s2[i]);
           }

I need to put the values of Attributes and Values into an excel sheet. I've been trying many methods, but only to get errors :( Please help me out with this. Thanks!

try this

C#

// Create new ExcelFile.
var ef = new ExcelFile();

// Imports all the tables from DataSet to new file.
foreach (DataTable dataTable in dataSet.Tables)
{
    // Add new worksheet to the file.
    var ws = ef.Worksheets.Add(dataTable.TableName);

    // Insert the data from DataTable to the worksheet starting at cell "A1".
    ws.InsertDataTable(dataTable, "A1", true);
}

// Save the file to XLS format.
ef.SaveXls("DataSet.xls");
