I'm trying to get my page Data.aspx to return an html table, but I want that table to be in an excel format. This is my code so far. In the Data.aspx Load: <blockquote> Response.Clear() <pre><code> Select Case lstrCmd Case "summary" Response.Write(Summary()) Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache) Case "export" Response.ContentType = "application/ms-excel" Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" & _ mstrProjectName & ".xls") Response.Write(SummaryExport()) End Select Response.End() </code></pre> </blockquote> So the add header is where I'm puzzled. This is something another peice of my software uses, but I'm not sure if it will work.. the jquery that calls this is using ajax: <blockquote> <pre><code> function btnSubmitExport_Click() { var compID = $("#ddlCompanies").val(); var projectID = $("#ddlProjects").val(); var startDate = $("#txtStartDate").val(); var endDate = $("#txtEndDate").val(); var compName = $("#ddlCompanies :selected").text(); var projectName = $("#ddlProjects :selected").text(); </code></pre> </blockquote> <pre><code> $("#content").html("<div class='loading'>loading...</div>"); $.ajax({ url: "Data.aspx", data: { CompanyID: compID, ProjectID: projectID, CompanyName: compName, ProjectName: projectName, StartDate: startDate, EndDate: endDate, Cmd: "export" }, success: function(html) { $("#content").html(html); }, error: function(response) { alert(response); } }); } </code></pre> So, typically, when I request this data, I just throw the resulting html into a "content" div on my default.aspx page.. but I want that html to be an excel file! Any hints or thoughts on this would be helpful. I see the same question in other places, but not any answers that help me with my existing code..

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
