Using Interop Excel to export gridview to excel?

The statement you quoted only means that the assembly you would reference depends on which version of excel you have installed on the box running your program So if you have Excel 2007 in your box, then you should reference the Excel12 library. However, it does not follow that the clients should have the same version. In Excel 2007, you may save the files in xml format (xlsx) and it would be readable to clients with excel 2007+ and older versions with a certain Compatibility Pack Using the same library, you can also save your files in the older xls format for compatibility, which I think can be opened up til Excel 97 (some features may be disabled).

– Mel May 26 at 5:56 I suggest you generate and save your excel file somewhere in your server (or db) instead of regenerating the excel file for every user.. or alternatively, if you use it for repoting, use something like SSIS or reporting services... and let them generate the excel file for you. – Mel May 26 at 5:59.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
