    <p>I'm currently building a web application that will give users the same information they see on a table on the current page, in Excel spreadsheet format. I found some previous code in another project that did the same thing.</p> <p>Small question first: Does anyone know how the Column ss:Width works? It's not an exact match. <code>Column ss:AutoFitWidth="0" ss:Width="114"</code> returns a column width of 21.00...</p> <p>Where I'm having most of my trouble is, all of the data that is passed into the spreadsheet has leading and tailing whitespace; I have no idea how to remove it. I've tried <code>.Trim()</code> when I make my <code>.ToString()</code> query and I've been looking into other methods, but I haven't seemed to find it. The following is a snippet of my worksheet code:</p> <pre><code> &lt;Worksheet ss:Name="UserMgmt1"&gt; &lt;Table&gt; @*Name*@ &lt;Column ss:AutoFitWidth="0" ss:Width="114" /&gt; &lt;Row&gt; &lt;Cell ss:StyleID="s29"&gt; &lt;Data ss:Type="String"&gt;Name&lt;/Data&gt; &lt;/Cell&gt; &lt;/Row&gt; @foreach (tbl_Users query in ViewBag.contents ) { &lt;Row&gt; &lt;Cell ss:StyleID="s31"&gt; &lt;ss:Data ss:Type="String" &gt; @(query.Name.ToString().Trim()) &lt;/ss:Data&gt; &lt;/Cell&gt; &lt;/Row&gt; } &lt;/Table&gt; &lt;/Worksheet&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>Forgot to add the ActionResult that implements this code:</p> <pre><code> public ActionResult _Excel(tblUsers model) { List&lt;tbl_Users&gt; inquiriesList = UserManageModel.GetResults(model); ViewBag.contents = inquiriesList; return View("_Excel"); } </code></pre> <p>And the call:</p> <pre><code>@using (Html.BeginForm("_Excel", "UserManage", FormMethod.Post)) { &lt;input type="submit" value="View Detailed List of Users in Excel" /&gt; } </code></pre> <p>The result looks like this in Excel, with that much whitespace surrounding each string item:</p> <pre><code> Administrator </code></pre>

    1. COCan you make the example smaller and also show more of the context? Like, maybe show a view containing a smaller example, and show the XML that the example produces.

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.
