How to Export a GridView to Excel with ASP.NET 2.0 Intuitively
Why isn’t there an included function within ASP.NET development to put an export to Word, Excel, CSV or text control on a web page?
I’ve been using Visual Web Developer Express now for awhile and have churned out a number of websites and pages for clients that are very impressive in my opinion.
I would think it would be to Microsoft’s advantage to make it easy for web developers to export the data presented on a web page in a GridView or other .NET control to an Excel spreadsheet very easily.
I’ve searched for some solutions online and they seem simple enough to a degree. I’m trying to implement them on my projects, but it just brings back the question of why this isn’t a button click event that’s available.
Anyone else think this would be helpful?

Good but go? I don’t think that was really necessary was it? Do you have a better solution available?
