In my web application i want to download data directly from a SQL database to MS Excel with customize heading. In the web page there will be one textbox, user only choose the date from that textbox(this contain the pop up calender) and when user clicks on download button, it will directly download data into Excel. I don't want to bind huge data into GridView, so i want to download data directly into Excel using ASP.NET and C#.
How can i achieve this?

You can easily do it from gridview to excel by Export To Excel control with same format.

otherwise put you data in datatable and export it to excel as in example
