exporting to excel question

  1. Default exporting to excel question

    I am able to export the datatable to excel. Below is the code that is being
    used in the button click event by calling the below and passing in the
    filename. But there are 2 columns in the datatable that are checkboxes. How
    can I get those to show either true or false (checked/unchecked)? Example
    code or links are good.

    public void ExportGridToExcel(string fileName)
    {
    DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
    Response.ClearContent();
    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",
    string.Format("attachment;filename={0}.xls", fileName));
    Response.ContentType = "application/ms-excel";
    StringWriter stw = new StringWriter();
    HtmlTextWriter htextw = new HtmlTextWriter(stw);
    GridView gvExport = new GridView();
    gvExport.DataSource = bindgrid();
    gvExport.DataBind();
    gvExport.RenderControl(htextw);
    Response.Write(stw.ToString());
    Response.End();
    }

    Thanks.
    John



  2. Default Re: exporting to excel question

    Maybe something like

    new table = oldtable

    for r as tablerow in newTable

    detect if their is a checkbox and what its value is, then remove it and
    set sells text to T or F

    next
