----------------------------------------------------------- From: SivaDotNet Message 3 in Discussion Hi, U can dump the contents of ur data grid / DataSet to an Excel sheet and dispaly it in the browser. So this will server u for both, Previewing as well as Printing. Here is how it goes ... 1. Create a new web form 2. Drag a a DataGrid control onto your Web form from the toolbar. Then right-click on the grid and choose Auto Format from the context menu. 3.In the code behind just add this code in Page Render event Dim dt As DataTable = _ CType(Session("MyDataTable"), DataTable) Response.ContentType = "application/ms-excel" Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", _ "inline;filename=test.xls") DataGrid1.DataSource = dt DataGrid1.DataBind() DataGrid1.RenderControl(writer) That's all u need to do. On the Page where ur Grid is present provide a print button and on click of this open this new aspx page which u have created. One more thing u need to take care is to make the dataset/datatable avaliable in the new aspx page. U can use the same dataset/datatable which u have used for binding to ur Data grid.
