Hi

In my WINFORMS applicatin i want to implement export to excel functionality . When i searched , found RKLIb.Export Data.dll for which we can pass datatable and file name which is "really very useful". But my client need trusted dll . Is there dll from Microsoft which i can use for export to excel .

If so, Please guide me.

Requirement :
when user clicks on "Export to excel" link , pop up window should open with "Open" "Save" Cancel" ( Hope got it)

Note :I see this Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll using in web applications. IF this is useful for Winforms , pls send the link to download as this is from MICORSOFT.

Please help me on this.

0	Hi Madhavi, Using FolderBrowserDialog Control in your form you can solve your problem. and also using one TextBox and Button Control for user save the excel file. In your TextBox user enter the file name (ex:Test) After enter the name and then click the button at the time use the following code... if(folderbrowserdialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { string sPath = folderbrowserdialog1.SelectedPath; string sFileName = txtBox.Text + ".xls"; // Add the file format sPath = sPath +"\\" + sFileName ; // Now you pass the sPath into your Export to Excel Method. } Just try this way...

Hi Madhavi,

Using FolderBrowserDialog Control in your form you can solve your problem.
and also using one TextBox and Button Control for user save the excel file.

In your TextBox user enter the file name (ex:Test)
After enter the name and then click the button at the time use the following code...


if(folderbrowserdialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

{

  string sPath = folderbrowserdialog1.SelectedPath;

  string sFileName = txtBox.Text + ".xls";  // Add the file format

  sPath = sPath +"\\" + sFileName ;

 // Now you pass the sPath into your Export to Excel Method.

}

Just try this way...

Cheers :)

Thanks,

0	Hi Madhavi, My Suggestion is just create one popup form for your requirement.At that form have three buttons Open,Save and Cancel. In your output form user click the button means just pass the datatable into that popup form using constructor. If user click open button means write your data into excel and then open that file without save. else click save button means call the SaveFileDialog object in that button event to get the path and pass the path into export to excel method. click cancel means use this.Close() to close the form. Note: All the methods are created in popup form.Try this way... Thanks, T.Saravanan Madhavi, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
