Tips from Scott Hanselmann There's a number of ways to "export" data to Excel from an ASP.NET site - some more elegant than others. Gross: You can use ASP.NET to generate a CSV file of Mime Type text/plain or text/csv and write it back to the browser. NOT Gross: You can use ASP.NET to generate an XML-SS (Excel XML Spreadsheet) document and write it back to the browser. Really Easy but not Really XMLy: You can take advantage of the ASP.NET DataGrid's ability to generate HTML tables quickly and return the page with a Mime Type of application/vnd.ms-excel.  Here's a great example on how to create these reports.  Easy but uses 3rd Party Control: Use ExcelWriter on the server side to create the Report. Disgusting: Automate Excel on the ServerSide.  Don't do this for Pete's Sake. 7:22:48 PM     The Operating systems and Middleware Group at Hasso-Plattner-Institute at University Potsdam focuses its research activities on Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) and Dynamic System Configuration in context of Rotor and the .NET framework. We have reported our findings in a number of international conferences (AOSD'03, WORDS'03, ISORC'02 - see www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/cms/papers/) With this email we want to announce availability of LOOM.NET - our .NET-based aspect weaver - for download. You may find additional download information and a link to LOOM.NET at www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/loom. [Andres Aguiar] 7:19:49 PM
