Question

User547378418 posted

I need help exporting Gridview to RTF file for download.

I need a way to generate a report and export the results to a rtf file. I have found a lot of how-to's on exporting to PDF but I can't find anything on rtf.

Please help me by example or point me to a good resource.

Thank you in advance.

Protected Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

Response.Clear()
Response.Buffer = True

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=FileName.doc")

Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF7
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.word"
Dim oStringWriter As New System.IO.StringWriter()
Dim oHtmlTextWriter As New System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(oStringWriter)
Me.GridView1.RenderControl(oHtmlTextWriter)
Response.Output.Write(oStringWriter.ToString())
Response.Flush()
Response.End()

End Sub

Now I only need to know how to write more than one GridView (lets say Gridview1, GridView2 and GridView3), to the same file.

Do I just repeat:

        GridView1.AllowPaging = false;
        GridView1.DataBind();
        GridView1.RenderControl(hw);
        Response.Output.Write(sw.ToString());

        GridView2.AllowPaging = false;
        GridView2.DataBind();
        GridView2.RenderControl(hw);
        Response.Output.Write(sw.ToString());

        GridView3.AllowPaging = false;
        GridView3.DataBind();
        GridView3.RenderControl(hw);
        Response.Output.Write(sw.ToString());

and

Response.Flush(); Response.End();

when done?

also,

I had to include:

<%@ Page EnableEventValidation="False" %>

on the aspx page. Is there a way to change this validation to false in the code behind and then back to true when done?

Thanks everyone. Those links provided great information.

This was also needed....

    protected void ExportWord_Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {   
        Response.Clear();
        Response.Buffer = true;
        Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=GridViewExport.doc");
        Response.Charset = "";
        Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("Windows-1252");
        Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-word ";
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
        GridView1.AllowPaging = false;
        GridView1.DataBind();
        GridView1.RenderControl(hw);
        Response.Output.Write(sw.ToString());
        Response.Flush();
        Response.End();

    }
    public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control)
    {
        /* Verifies that the control is rendered */
    }






///  was used on the aspx page, but wish there was a way to set/reset this in the code behind
<%@ Page EnableEventValidation="False"
