0	Hello Suchitra, If you are trying to give an option of downloading an Office document then you can use the below code set. 'Clear the buffer and headers so that we can generate the office document HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear() HttpContext.Current.Response.Buffer = True HttpContext.Current.Response.Charset = "" If _outputContentType = outputType.Excel Then HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & _outputFileName) Else HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/msword" HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & _outputFileName) End If And then use the Response.Write method to write anything you wish.. I mean you can even download your .NET controls data. Ex. for grid you can use Dim stringWrite As StringWriter = New StringWriter Dim htmlWrite As Html32TextWriter = New Html32TextWriter(stringWrite) Response.Write("<center><h1>Page Level Heading</h1></center>") grdTest.RenderControl(htmlWrite) Thanks, Ravi Su_ma_2011, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

Hello Suchitra,

If you are trying to give an option of downloading an Office document then you can use the below code set.

'Clear the buffer and headers so that we can generate the office document


HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear()

HttpContext.Current.Response.Buffer = True

HttpContext.Current.Response.Charset = ""



If _outputContentType = outputType.Excel Then

   HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"

   HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & _outputFileName)

Else

   HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/msword"

   HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & _outputFileName)

End If

And then use the Response.Write method to write anything you wish.. I mean you can even download your .NET controls data. Ex. for grid you can use

Dim stringWrite As StringWriter = New StringWriter

Dim htmlWrite As Html32TextWriter = New Html32TextWriter(stringWrite)

Response.Write("<center><h1>Page Level Heading</h1></center>")

grdTest.RenderControl(htmlWrite)

Thanks,
Ravi
