Solution 1

If you must use the response object ( which I guess you do if you're writing a binary file ), you should ALWAYS use response.End. If it's an Excel spreadsheet, it will show the data in the format you provided, assuming Excel is present. Perhaps if you posted some code and generally explained yourself, we could help more.

Hi Graus...

Thanks for reply. Code that i m using for excel 2003 and 2010 is listed below

Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("Windows-1252")
Response.Charset = ""
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet" ' '' for excel 2010

Response.ContentType ="application/vnd.ms-winword" '' for excel 2003

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=RiskRatingExport.xlsx")

issue is that i m generating an repeater which is in table format and when open the repeater as excel by using code listed above for 2003 working fine and for 2010 excel it is showing incorect format of data.

Do I need to do something else.

Please reply it is urgent.

Thanks
