RenderControl outputs server control content and stores tracing information about the control if tracing is enabled.

This is not real export to excel - you are making a html file with .xls extension and rely on Excel to convert it for you.

Hi,

Use following code

Response.Clear(); 
Response.Charset = ""; 
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"; 
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=ExportData.xls");
System.IO.StringWriter sw = new System.IO.StringWriter(); 
System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter hw = new System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(sw); 
GridView gv = new GridView();
gv.DataSource = dataTable; 
gv.DataBind();
gv.RenderControl(hw);
Response.Write(sw.ToString());
Response.End();
