Default Export to Excel 2007

Hi All,
I have an web application where user can export the results of search action
to an excel file so he can locally store it.. I have done this with very
simple code which is
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;
filename=StackRanking.xls");
Response.Charset = "";
System.IO.StringWriter sw = new System.IO.StringWriter();
System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter hw = new
System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(sw);
(........fils dataset..... hw.RenderBeginTag)
(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriterTag.Html);
dg.RenderControl(hw);
hw.RenderEndTag();
Response.Write(sw);
Response.End();

All work fine when end user has Excel 2003 but when he has Excel 2007 it
gives a warning err message when he tries to open the rendered (downloaded)
Excel File,
I guess i need framework 3.0 to Support the file format of Excel 2007. What
in the code needs to be changed to have compatibility with Excel 2007
File.....

Thanks for reading my query...
