I have a chunk of code to generate excel from Grid View data. But the issue Im facing with this is the code instead of extracting just the grid view data into the excel is copying entire data present in the html UI into the excel file i.e buttons, dorpdown lists e.t.c.

I want to just extract only Grid View data into the excel file. Please help me with this. My code is as below:

protected void btnExcelGenerator_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    Response.Clear();
    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=FileName.xls");
    Response.Charset = "";
    Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
    Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.xls";

    System.IO.StringWriter stringWrite = new System.IO.StringWriter();
    System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter htmlWrite = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWrite);

    GridViewRefurb.RenderControl(htmlWrite);
    Response.Write(stringWrite.ToString());
    Response.Flush();
    HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();

}

Help is deeply appreciated, thanks in advance

Refer this - Remove Edit Delete Button When Exporting GridView To Excel[^].

You just need to hide the appropriate columns before rendering like...

C#

GridView1.Columns[14].Visible = false;
GridView1.Columns[15].Visible = false;
GridView1.Columns[16].Visible = false;
