Hi,

Could any one please help me how to export the data from GridView to Excel with out using the below code.

C#

public void ExportFile(string FileName)
       {
           string name = "Test File";
           Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + name);
           Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
           Response.WriteFile(FileName);
           Response.End();
       }

The problem is if we use the above code, after exporting the data to excel Remaining events are not working in the same page(Buttons- Event firing is not happening).

Please advice me how to resolve this.

Thanks
venkat.

You can call the Export from an asynchornous webservice using jQuery.ajax and then at least have some control over it.

The only way to download a file is as a single request. As such, the file is all that you want to serve, and you have to end the response. If you want to do any other operations, you should do them before serving the file.
