Export to Excel is one of the most important features that business users ask for. We generally use HTMLProjects which does not work with Office 2007. Here is the alternative for the same, and the script works fine for all the versions of MS Office on Windows OS.
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.SessionState;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

namespace SampleExportToExcel
{
	/// <summary>
	/// Summary description for WebForm1.
	/// </summary>
	public class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
	{
		protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid DataGrid1;
	
		private DataTable GetDataTable()
		{
			DataTable dt = new DataTable();
			dt.Columns.Add("Name",Type.GetType("System.String"));
			dt.Columns.Add("Age",Type.GetType("System.Int16"));

			DataRow dr;
			dr = dt.NewRow();
			dr["Name"] = "Table 1 Name 1";
			dr["Age"] = 10;
			dt.Rows.Add(dr);

			dr = dt.NewRow();
			dr["Name"] = "Table 1 Name 2";
			dr["Age"] = 20;
			dt.Rows.Add(dr);

			dr = dt.NewRow();
			dr["Name"] = "Table 1 Name 3";
			dr["Age"] = 30;
			dt.Rows.Add(dr);
			return dt;

		}

	
		private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			if ( ! IsPostBack)
			{
				DataGrid1.DataSource = GetDataTable();
				DataGrid1.DataBind();
			}
		}

		#region Web Form Designer generated code
		override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
		{
			//
			// CODEGEN: This call is required by the ASP.NET Web Form Designer.
			//
			InitializeComponent();
			base.OnInit(e);
		}
		
		/// <summary>
		/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
		/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
		/// </summary>
		private void InitializeComponent()
		{    
			this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);

		}
		#endregion
	}
}
