Hmm. When I send an Excel file I set these:
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=Export.xls");
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
Response.Charset = "";
Response.Write(exportToExcel(ds).ToString());
Response.End(); //!!
Are you ending your response in your code after you send your data?
