I have an Asp.Net GridView that contains 205 columns.

I can export it to an Excel with the save as prompt. The export to excel is working properly.

My question here is can I create a simple LinkButton on the home page that says 'Export to Excel' without showing the entire GridView on a certain page?

Solution 1

Yes, why not.

Just use the DataTable directly. Export DataTable to Excel. There is no need to bind the GridView.

Great. I will try that route. Do you have an example code without binding it to the gridview? If not I will give it a shot and let you know.

You can find that easily by Googling "DataTable to Excel + asp.net".

Thank you Tadit Dash. I got it worked out by creating a DataTable and binding it to that. I than created a link button that will export the data to an excel without a gridview. Works great. Now I have to format certain cells to a text. Thanks again.
