I was alerted on twitter today that a giant screen is being erected in the city, the guess is to feed us sport crazy Australian’s with some Olympic goodness. Anyway I thought, ha I don’t need no big screen, I know that MSNBC is doing something special this year. They are giving you the ability to control your own Olympic viewing experience using the power of Silverlight at http://www.nbcolympics.com But then today disaster, I hit this screen on their control:

If you want to export some data into excel in ASP.Net without having Excel on your server a good way to do it is it use a GridView and ADO.Net to do this. There are a few little tricks/snags you can quickly hit, so I’m going to show a few I’ve found.

Dim htw As New HtmlTextWriter(sw)
GridView1.RenderControl(htw)
Response.Write(sw.ToString())
Response.End()
