Check below code

C#

private void ExportGridToExcel()  
   {  
       Response.Clear();  
       Response.Buffer = true;  
       Response.ClearContent();  
       Response.ClearHeaders();  
       Response.Charset = "";  
       string FileName ="test.xls";  
       StringWriter strwritter = new StringWriter();  
       HtmlTextWriter htmltextwrtter = new HtmlTextWriter(strwritter);        
       Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);  
       Response.ContentType ="application/vnd.ms-excel";    
       Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=StatusOfAgreement.xls");  
       GridView1.GridLines = GridLines.Both;  
       GridView1.HeaderStyle.Font.Bold = true;  
       GridView1.RenderControl(htmltextwrtter);  
       Response.Write(strwritter.ToString());  
       Response.End();      
  
   }

i suggest using EPPLUS because it is free and you have no problem for browser compatibility...

C#

var dt = GetDataTable(); //the one that you use in the Bind() method
var dataTable = dt.Select(/*..the columns you need..*//);
using (ExcelPackage pck = new ExcelPackage(newFile))
{
  ExcelWorksheet ws = pck.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("Accounts");
  ws.Cells["A1"].LoadFromDataTable(dataTable, true);
  pck.Save();
}

you can download it with nuget.
