Hi All

I am working on ASP.NET application using C#.I have a requirement of genrating an Excel file 0programmatically.

For this i tried in two ways.
One is , using FileSystem object.
Another is , using Excel COM object , Microsoft Office 9.0 object library.

1). using FileSystemObject it was showing the Excel file type as
'Text(Tab Deleimted')' in the SaveAs Dialog box when i am opening the Excel sheet.


2). using Microsoft Office 9.0 object library, that was showing the Excel file type as
'Microsoft Excel Workbook' in the SaveAs Dialog box when i am opening the Excel sheet

My problem is, i have to genrate the Excel file using FileSystemObject, which saves the Excel
file in the format 'Microsoft Excel Workbook'.

So , How to accomplish this ???

Any Ideas??

Thanks in prior

I suggest posting .dotnet.framework.aspnet or a similar group.

The FSO cannot create an Excel file in its native binary format. (Well,
unless you know how to write a binary file out in your head that would be a
valid Excel file...)

Server-side automatiion of Office objects is strongly ill-advised by
Microsoft.

Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
That was always good in classic ASP for basics.

As far as the user getting prompted to download, that's a client-side option
that the user has set.

Hi Ray Thanx For u Reply

When User clicks on the button the cxcel sheet was automatically genarated that's why i am using FileSystem object.
Another is , using Excel COM object , Microsoft Office 9.0 object library.
